UFC 304 will be topped by Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad for the welterweight title, along with Tom Aspinall vs. Curtis Blaydes for the interim heavyweight strap (details here).
I guess he does “want that” after all.
Lightweight sensation Paddy Pimblett will look to break into the division Top 15 when he battles ranked veteran Bobby Green as part of the upcoming UFC 304 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for Sat., July 27, 2024 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England.
UFC CEO Dana White announced the booking earlier today on social media.
Pimblett (21-3) is undefeated in five trips to the Octagon and was last seen capturing a unanimous decision victory over the fading Tony Ferguson at UFC 296. As for Green (32-15-1, 1 NC), he rebounded from a knockout loss to Jalin Turner to outpoint Jim Miller at UFC 300 just last month.
“Bobby Green screamed my name on the mic after [UFC 300],” Pimblett said on YouTube. “Didn’t surprise me, know what I mean? He might be ranked, but he’s got no followers and he needs me. Just like everyone else, they want to fight me because they know I’m the boy. Bobby Green’s an option. If Bobby Green wants to fight, I’m there.”
I guess that Renato Moicano fight will have to wait.
UFC 304 will also feature the featherweight showdown between Arnold Allen and Giga Chikadze. Elsewhere on the card, Manel Kape and Muhammad Mokaev hook ‘em up at flyweight, not long after Bruna Brasil and Molly McCann collide at 115 pounds.
Stay tuned for more UFC 304 fight card announcements in the coming days.
