Probable protagonist of UFC 304, event that marks the return of Ultimate to England, Tom Aspinall made a joke on his social networks about the start of the event. With the main card scheduled to start at 3am (UK time), the current interim heavyweight champion (up to 120.2kg) released a photo of himself with a sleepy expression and joked about the time he should enter the octagon.
“When you find out you have to fight someone at 5am,” wrote Aspinall.
No fight has been announced so far, but the tendency is for the event to feature the first defense of the interim belt. Tom Aspinall in heavy weights (up to 120.2 kg). The champion himself guaranteed his presence on the card, although he still has no defined opponent.
Another practically guaranteed presence is that of Leon Edwards, welterweight champion (up to 77.1 kg). The coach of the British-born Jamaican confirmed that his pupil will be at the event and indicated Belal Muhammad as the most likely challenger for the belt.
UFC 304 marks the organization’s fifth event in Manchester. The last visit to the city took place in 2016, when Michael Bisping took revenge for the defeat suffered against Dan Henderson and defended the middleweight belt (up to 83.9 kg) against his rival at UFC 204 in front of an audience of 16 thousand people.
