UFC is returning to their state-of-the-art Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada for UFC Vegas 21. The show is headlined by a top-tier welterweight bout between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad and takes place this Saturday, March 13th.
Khamzat Chimaev was set to be the original opponent for the No. 3 ranked Leon Edwards, but he had to withdraw due to lingering aftereffects of COVID-19. This also forced him to pull out of their previously scheduled fight. With Chimaev's absence and an inability to find other top-ranked fighters to take the fight, No. 13 ranked welterweight Belal Muhammad stepped in on short notice with the hopes of securing a quicker shot at the 170 pound title.
