UFC 304 main event features the long-anticipated welterweight title clash between Belal Muhammad and Leon Edwards. Ahead of the fight, the champion is concerned about his sleep given the weird starting time of the fight card. However, it seems like Muhammad has a different plan to assist Edwards to sleep.

Leon Edwards recently spoke with Tom Aspinall to discuss UFC 304’s early start time. To address this, Edwards said that he had hired a sleep coach prior to training camp and Aspinal liked that idea. However, this caused title challenger Belal Muhammad to make a subtle dig at the reigning champion.

During an interview, Edwards revealed he’s tired of Muhammad’s online drama. According to Edwards, he will finish the challenger at UFC 304, and anything short doesn’t seem appropriate.

I need a finish. I feel like anything short of a finish is no good enough. All this s*** this guy talked on social media, the f***** Tweets, the t-shirts, he deserves it. He deserves an a**-whooping. I feel like he’s going to get his a** whooped.
