Belal Muhammad vs. Leon Edwards
Saturday, March 13, 2021 – 10:05 PM EST at UFC Apex
Leon Edwards (18-3-0)
Number three ranked UFC welterweight Leon Edwards has been side-lined since 2019, and with an eight-fight win streak, the British bad-boy has been overly eager to get back into the octagon.
The last time Edwards fought, he won a unanimous decision over former titleholder Rafael Dos Anjos, but the near two-year absence has not been the fault of Britain's fastest rising UFC star. He was scheduled to face Tyron Woodley before the coronavirus caused the bout to be cancelled. Following the pandemic restrictions, Edwards has been planned on a further three occasions. Health issues put a stop to the highly-anticipated clash with Khamzat Chimaev.
Born in Jamaica but raised in Birmingham, United Kingdom, Edwards has trained in mixed martial arts since his teenage years and owns a diverse skill set. Without shining in one particular discipline, Edwards has utilised his full MMA background.

Belal Muhammad (18-3-0)
'Remember the Name' is a fitting nickname for Belal Muhammad because it's hard to forget an MMA athlete consistent in his division and on social media. Muhammad has fought on three occasions since we last saw Edwards in the cage; activity is certainly no problem for the rank 13th competitor. In fact, it has been a mere four weeks since we last saw Belal in the octagon. When interviewed by MMA Junkie in 2019, Belal explained what the fight game means to him:
'I am a Palestinian Muslim-American, born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. My family is originally from Al-Bireh, Palestine. I would consider myself to be very family-oriented with a lot of devotion and respect for the sport of MMA. My ultimate goal in my career is to take home the belt as the best welterweight champion in the world, inshallah.'
Accepting this contest (replacing Khamzat Chimaev) on short notice after competing last month is a true testament to Belal's mindset and self-belief, and we should expect the best version of Belal Muhammad next weekend.

Edwards vs. Muhammad Early Prediction and Betting Advice
Stylistically, the fight presented to us involves two competitors with remarkably similar styles. Neither fighter excels in one area; both men possess the skills to grapple or strike. They also have an identical professional MMA record, and both men know what it takes to survive a full fifteen-minute fight.
BookMaker current odds are swaying heavily in favor of Edwards, but his time away from the octagon is worrying. Especially when faced with a veteran decision fighter in Belal.
Seeking the value here is tough, and although I belief Edwards can take another decision victory for his record here, the price isn't tempting at all.
With a twenty-five-minute time limit and two athletes with a slow pace, we should expect this fight to sail over three and a half rounds. The odds are not currently available, so be sure to check back with SBR during the week when they'll be live.

How Odds Work
Unlike a spread on an NFL game where one team is ahead by a certain number of points (ex. Saints +7), in MMA fights, the line on the game is called a moneyline. These are the +/- used on UFC broadcasts. The figure is how much money you have to bet in order to win $100 (-), and how much a $100 bet will earn (+).
The moneyline is perhaps best explained via example:
JAIRZINHO ROZENSTRUIK +210
CIRYL GANE -250
In this fight, Gane is the -250 favorite, meaning if you bet $250 on him and he wins, you would profit $100. If he were to lose though, you would lose the full $250.
If you were to bet on Rozenstruik at +210, if you bet $100 on him and he wins the fight, you will profit $210. If he were to lose the fight, you would lose your original $100 bet.
Depending on how people are betting on the fights, the odds can shift from the moment they open, right up until the night of the fights.
Some say never bet until the weigh-ins, which streamed live on The UG at Noon ET on Friday.
Las Vegas Odds Ufc
The sport is built on moments that make you involuntary think “HOLY F***ING S***!!!” Those can come unpredictably at any time, on any portion of the card, from any fighter. Thus, some bettors look to the underdogs, sometimes big ones, as the best bets.
As always, UG, you see any ‘dogs’ you like?
