Anyone looking for a satisfying ending to the Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad fight at UFC Vegas 21 was disappointed. The bout, which headlined the ESPN+ streaming fight card, came to an abrupt and alarming end when Edwards poked Muhammad in the eye and Muhammad told the doctor he could not see. It was the second eye poke from Edwards in the brief contest.
The fight was supposed to deliver a lot more. Related
Edwards, the No. 3 ranked fighter in the official UFC rankings, had not stepped into the octagon for nearly 20 months. Muhammad, who was ranked No. 13, took the fight on short notice. Edwards hoped a win would get him a shot at 170-pound champion Kamaru Usman. Muhammad hoped a win would rocket him up the rankings and put him in position to work toward a title fight. It’s hard to see either man getting his wish after the no contest ending.
