MANCHESTER, England: Belal Muhammed defeated Leon Edwards by unanimous decision to win the welterweight title at UFC 304 on Sunday, while Tom Aspinall retained the interim heavyweight crown by knocking out Curtis Blaydes a minute into the first round of the co-main event. American Muhammad, 36, enjoyed the better of the opening two rounds as he used a match-heavy attack to take Edwards to the mat and nearly knocked England's Edwards down in the second when he knocked him to the ground on his head.
