Belal Muhammad provides update on UFC Vegas 21 eye damage
March 14, 2021
To say that the UFC Vegas 21 main event didn’t go the way that Belal Muhammad intended would be a massive understatement. He didn’t lose the fight, but it ended in a no contest and him making a trip to the hospital.
Though Leon Edwards took the fight to Muhammad in the first round, he withstood several hard shots and head kicks from the no. 3 ranked UFC welterweight. Not only that, but Muhammad answered with a few decent punches of his own.
But in the second round, just as things were starting to heat up, Edwards accidentally poked Muhammad in the eye.
UFC Vegas 21 results: Leon Edwards eye poke stops bout with Belal Muhammad
Leon Edwards was out of the fight game for almost two years, but was poised to earn a title shot at UFC Vegas 21 on Saturday night. The fight didn’t go anywhere near the way he hoped, and likely left his bid for a shot at welterweight champion Kamaru Usman unfulfilled.
Edwards and Muhammad were both throwing with intent straight out of the gate. It was Edwards that landed the first hard shots. But it was a couple head kicks midway through the round that rocked Muhammad, who was briefly on wobbly legs.

David Rowe points out Biden’s success in forcing through his stimulus with the help of a successful vaccine rollout.
As noted in his marginal tip-of-the-hat, it’s a take on
W.A. Rogers’ cartoon about Roosevelt, which leaves me wondering if Rowe thinks it’s all such a good thing after all, since the original Big Stick cartoon was about TR’s gunboat diplomacy, with which he assisted Panama in becoming independent from Colombia in order to ram through the US-controlled canal.
TR did a lot of really good things, but most people today shudder over the canal thingie.
