The UFC 304 main event between Jamaican-born British UFC Welterweight champion Leon Edwards and number two ranked Belal Muhammad is now official after both men successfully weighed in at the Welterweight title fight limit of 170 pounds on Friday morning.

Edwards weighed in at 170 pounds while Muhammad came in one pound under at 169 pounds ahead of their rematch at the Co-op Live in Manchester, England on Saturday.

Their first fight back in March 2021 ended in a no contest after Edwards accidentally poked Muhammad in the eye, leaving him temporarily unable to see clearly.

On Saturday, Edwards will be looking to defend his Welterweight crown for the third time since winning it at UFC 278 in August 2022 while Muhammad will be looking for his sixth win in a row and first hold on a UFC title.

Friday’s weigh-ins went about as well as one can go as no fighter on the main card or prelims missed weight.

The rest of the main card is as follows:

Interim champion Tom Aspinall (251 lbs) vs Curtis Blaydes (256 lbs) for the Interim UFC Heavyweight Championship

King Green (154.5 lbs) vs Paddy Pimblett (156 lbs) at lightweight

Christian Leroy Duncan (185 lbs) vs Gregory Rodrigues (185 lbs) at middleweight

Arnold Allen (145 lbs) vs Giga Chikadze (146 lbs) at featherweight
