The UFC’s highly anticipated return to England has finally received an official date, with the premier MMA promotion set to host a pay-per-view event in Manchester on July 27th. The announcement was made through the UFC’s official X account, formerly known as Twitter. The poster promoting UFC 304 was briefly shared before being taken down, but not before eagle-eyed MMA fans captured screenshots and eagerly spread the news. The event is expected to feature title defenses by reigning champions Leon Edwards and Tom Aspinall, although their opponents are yet to be confirmed. Edwards’ head coach, Dave Lovell, has expressed confidence that his client will face Belal Muhammad in a rematch of their 2021 no-contest. Lovell believes that Muhammad feigned injury in their previous encounter and is eager for Edwards to avenge the perceived injustice. While Edwards’ opponent seems almost certain, the rest of the UFC 304 fight card remains shrouded in mystery. Fans can expect more announcements and updates as the event draws closer. The UFC’s return to Manchester has been highly anticipated, and the official date announcement has been met with excitement within the MMA community. With two title fights expected to take place and the promise of more exciting matchups to be revealed, UFC 304 is sure to be a memorable event for fans of the sport.
