UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs Muhammad Full Fight Card

The original main event of the card was supposed to be the much-awaited showdown between Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev. The fight has been put off for one reason or another over the past few months.

First, Leon Edwards had to pull out because of a positive COVID-19 test from UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs. Neal in December last year. Then it was Khamzat Chimaev who contracted the virus and had to withdraw from UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Magny in January 2021.

This time around, it did seem like all the dangers had been averted and the fight could finally happen. However, Khamzat Chimaev still showed lingering after effects of COVID-19 which nearly forced him to retire from the sport as well.

UFC finally let go of the matchup and instead booked Leon Edwards against welterweight sensation Belal Muhammad for the March 13 card.

Even though he had just fought last month and picked up a decision win against Dhiego Lima on February 13, Belal Muhammad was not going to let go of the opportunity to fight the No. 3 ranked Welterweight on short notice.
