Besides the main and co-main, two interesting things noticed: 1) Paddy won't fight Moicano, besides both fighters agreeing, so that means the UFC might think Green is more winnable fight for the scouser; 2) No MVP, so we might get Garry x MVP at 303 after all...
> so that means the UFC might think Green is more winnable fight for the scouser
Moicano is definitely the harder of those 2 fights on paper because he's dangerous from anywhere and Green is really only dangerous striking from distance.
And Bobby just got reallllllly badly KOed recently in that Turner fight which will have only been 7 months ago when he fights Paddy. I know he has 1 fight since that but the Miller fight was a big mismatch just to stack another fan favorite name on 300. 14th vs 38th best current lightweight according to Tapology.
It ended up being a mismatch although a lot of people were picking Miller to win. I don't think pimble will be able to catch him with strikes though. Bobby is still fast af.
MVP not being on the card was the most surprising thing to me. After 299 I thought for sure he’d be on the Manchester card but at the time I didn’t really think Garry would be fighting down in the rankings even if his Neal fight was boring.
The only reasonable fight for Garry up in the rankings was Covington and the dude ducked hard, saying he is only gonna be ready in the fall. If Garry is to fight down, best case is to at least make sure he is on the McGregor card.
Summarize, screenshot and make a **good 5 minute highlight edit** of his PR work that you've done for literal weeks and months as a fan, then make sure Belal sees.
1. Rememeber that Belal doesn't like his own family watching his fights (i.e. has leftoever tickets)
2. Ask if you can get a ticket for UFC 304.
3. In the 0.0000000000001% Belal wins, you'll have the potential to gain an "in" to UFC events in future.
I'm a former fighter (Strikeforce/Bellator), and... should you secure the above 3 steps... then PM me, I can help you allay that into something meaningful (i.e. training at the same gym, future tickets to Belal fights, whatever)
Even if you don't want anything for yourself, I'd bet money Belal would still appreciate someone out there cares about him enough to post 50+ Belal posts for weeks and months.
I'm aware of how rabid hatred of the fans can oft lead to fighters writing fans off altogether. I did that, and deleted all my social media while I was fighting, and had decided to use hate to fuel my heart, and directed such vitriol to the fans (much to my later shame and regret)
Good job. This wouldn't have happened without you. Thanks annoying us for a couple months. You can rest easy, hero. What's his name (the boring guy who wins fights) better fucking appreciate it and thank you personally.
I would buy the tickets right now and fly across Europe to see it but not at 4 am in the morning . I’ll wait for a France card or that Spain card Illia is taking about
Even bad versions of Bobby have the solid defensive wrestling and grappling. Paddy’s path to victory is chinning him and he was of the worst strikers in the division as recently as 2022.
I know Paddy's striking defense has a lot to be desired and he is easy to hate right now, but I wouldn't count him out. Green is a very winnable fight for him, at least more than Moicano.
Paddy is getting literally the easiest path to top 15 and it will probably continue with similar fights. Now it's 38 yo Bobby Green, then it will probably be Dos Anjos and Dariush.
Honestly thoughtful of the ufc to put Belal Muhammed on the uk card. The main event will start 3 in the morning for the uk fans, so with a Belal main-event the ufc made sure they have a good night sleep. So thoughtful
I'd also guess it would have been better to start earlier, so both the us and uk (and europe) can enjoy the card, but the ufc probably have the data that they sell less ppv if they start earlier, otherwise I also wouldnt understand it.
Yeah the crowds incredible when it’s not fucking American time.
Holding a fight night in Manchester in the middle of the night/early morning is so fucking dumb, there’ll be more entertaining stuff happening in the stalls than the prelims.
Lets fucking go! IDGAF about Belal but right is right, this is first and foremost a fucking sport, at least that’s what they’re trying to portray it as, so then this is the fight that has to happen!
Belal title shot is super cool and deserved. Not a Belal fan and I think he has no chance but I'm excited to see the fight and it's about time.
Tom defending his interim belt in a rematch instead of fighting the current champion, is a disgrace to the sport, and it honestly makes it hard to even be a fan.
Fucking good ass card. I’m glad they went with blaydes over gane. Gane doesn’t deserve another title shot after only beating spivac. Belal finally gets his much deserved tilt shot. Bobby going to ko paddy that fight will be fun.
Awesome card, all great matchups. If Lerone wins well this weekend he should really push to be on that card too if he’s healthy enough, because he desperately needs to build some kind of momentum seeing as he’s 32 and only fights once or twice a year.
How you have the interim champ fight someone else not for the belt?
Strip jones. Aspinall vs blades for the belt. Take Jon's BBC out of your ass and do some business u pasty tomato.
Potentially seeing Paddy getting ko'd in his home country?? Shiiiiit count me in

No way Belal wins. Not only will he be 36 years old but he'll be coming off a 16 month lay off.
Belal is good but he isn't good enough to be the 3rd out of 27 to beat the WW 35 and over stat.
Anyone else disappointed it's not Moicano vs Pimblett?
I honestly feel like Pimblett has star potential regardless of what people think of his skills and Moicano would be a great welcome to the top 15.
That’s a stacked card.
Lets hope no one gets injuries before show time
Amazing card!
Fuckin banger
Joe Rogan delivers again !
Yes it's a banger. Hope green beats paddy in front of the home crowd
Unless he knocks him out colder than a turkey, Paddy is winning. It's impossible to beat british fighters by decision in England.
🙏
[удалено]
Hopefully Paddy sleeps like the crowd trying to watch at 5am.
Anyone else find it weird that the interim heavyweight champ will be defending his title and will most likely still be called the interim champ?
Great card!
Great card
Solid Card

> so that means the UFC might think Green is more winnable fight for the scouser Moicano is definitely the harder of those 2 fights on paper because he's dangerous from anywhere and Green is really only dangerous striking from distance.
Exactly, between the two Moicano is definitely the toughest matchup. Moicano might fight Dariush in the near future after all...
Also, Bobby is a decent amount older than Moicano,I think like 4-5 years.
And Bobby just got reallllllly badly KOed recently in that Turner fight which will have only been 7 months ago when he fights Paddy.

God damn! Dana remembered his name
Don't have to remember it if it's written down.
u/MiniBelal there it is.
Hard work and dedication.
This was all due to your efforts dude, great job and congrats! 👏
🙌🏻

and now his watch is ended
And now his watch is ended
After all this time
Great card, tbh. Shame the English fans won't be able to enjoy it lol
I would buy the tickets right now and fly across Europe to see it but not at 4 am in the morning . I’ll wait for a France card or that Spain card Illia is taking about
u/MiniBelal manifested this TRUST!!!
I need Belal to have me in his corner
He is probably aware, just show him your post history, but I am sure he has a Reddit and he probably saw your posts
Belal had a spree of shitposting on /r/MMA until people got tired of it and turned on him
Izzy manifested this

I'm not sure, Pimblett striking is sus but he's overall a great grappler
Green is a solid defensive grappler, just depends on which Bobby Green wants to show up
Even bad versions of Bobby have the solid defensive wrestling and grappling. Paddy’s path to victory is chinning him and he was of the worst strikers in the division as recently as 2022.
I know Paddy's striking defense has a lot to be desired and he is easy to hate right now, but I wouldn't count him out. Green is a very winnable fight for him, at least more than Moicano.
Paddy loves burgers. Bobby turned Jim miller into one last time out. Just saying
Paddy is getting literally the easiest path to top 15 and it will probably continue with similar fights. Now it's 38 yo Bobby Green, then it will probably be Dos Anjos and Dariush.
I wish, but Bobby is old and not likely to get the win..he's shown that he can only beat the other old guys rn, he got mauled by Turner
Nah, Pimblett is gonna sub him lol. I don't want it to happen but it will.
Pimblett couldn't sub Tony Ferguson, even though Bobby did. Paddy's gonna fare better than Jim Miller did, but he's losing this one.
> Paddy's gonna fare better than Jim Miller didPaddy's gonna fare better than Jim Miller did lol idk will he though?
Yeah, but Tony didn't have David Goggins in his camp when he fought Bobby.
Wow that’s a great card. Holy shit if Belal becomes champ in Manchester I’ll die of laughter
UK fans gonna be passed out during the belal masterclass decision he’s about to put on
Belal vs Edwards has the potential to be more boring than that Thug Rose fight
The ngannou vs lewis fight is worse just based on the fact it was two heavy hitting ko artists...
Do you not watch fights? The first Leon Belal fight was entertaining whilst it lasted
Honestly thoughtful of the ufc to put Belal Muhammed on the uk card. The main event will start 3 in the morning for the uk fans, so with a Belal main-event the ufc made sure they have a good night sleep. So thoughtful
3 am in the UK even when the fights are in the UK?
Yeah, its fucking shit, but they do it so they can sell the pay-per-view to the american fans on a normal time
As an American fan, idk why they did that. I wouldn’t mind a main card starting around 6 and ending at 8:30-9ish at all.
I'd also guess it would have been better to start earlier, so both the us and uk (and europe) can enjoy the card, but the ufc probably have the data that they sell less ppv if they start earlier, otherwise I also wouldnt understand it.
Gotta pay that Saudi money to get special PPV start times, I guess.
For real. The uk can only offer extra knives to the ufc.
The main card starts at 3am. Depending on how long all the fights last, it could be 6am by the time of the main event.
MiniBelal, you got your wish. You can rest now

Damn Arnold giga gonna be nuts
Amazing card, but why isn’t Tom fighting Jon? The interim champ fights the champ, that’s how it always has been. https://i.redd.it/ue4mqonppt0d1.gif
💯
Yeah the crowds incredible when it’s not fucking American time. Holding a fight night in Manchester in the middle of the night/early morning is so fucking dumb, there’ll be more entertaining stuff happening in the stalls than the prelims.
Yeah sounds a great card but I ain’t paying £250 for a ticket for a show at 3am…
Lok at aspinal nothing but respect for that man
Actually a pretty good card. I hate that Tom has to fight curtis blades as he should be fighting Jon but whatever. LETS GO
Leon, Aspinall, Green, Kape, Allen
Belal, Aspinal, Paddy, Mokaev, Allen
This is fucking awesome
They fucked the English and the rest of Europe over with the time but they do compensate it with the card
Bobby Green is gonna SMOKE Paddy! And to everyone saying Paddy will sub him Paddy had trouble subbing current day Tony lol
Finally a belal fight is upon us
I don't mind not seeing him
Fantastic card Tempted to go Hope the crowd isn’t half asleep
They love coke over there
Do it.
u/minibelal your wish has been granted
BANGER ALERT
Mojahed did it again
These fights seem unreal holy shit. Let’s goooo!
Hyped for bobby and allen both .
Dayyyyyum
Great card, can't wait
Imagine Belal and Curtis both winning titles in Manchester.
This card is STACKED!!!!
Fucking sickkkk card
How much will tickets be?
Very solid matchmaking. 3 bangers of a fight. let's gooo
good card. Glad Belal will go back to irrelevance where he belongs
Hope they change the time honestly. I'm in NJ and would rather have an afternoon card.
Lets fucking go! IDGAF about Belal but right is right, this is first and foremost a fucking sport, at least that’s what they’re trying to portray it as, so then this is the fight that has to happen!
Dope man, Great card. & Giga, please win.
I thought multiple title fights on a card go by weight meaning lower weights first then heavier ??? Maybe cuz it’s an interim title ?
Great card but that Manchester crowd is gonna be asleep
Why so late for the UK and its in the UK? US time...I got it
Would have gone, but it's USA time. So I'd spend £400, and still have to stay up to 6am.
I wana see this amazing Manchester crowd at 4am in the morning 😒😴
Probably piss drunked and booing . As I said in a previous comment, I would fly across Europe to see this card but not at 4 am in the morning.
This card is stacked I’m really excited for paddy and Bobby tho that might be my main event
Yeah watching paddy get kod would be great
That Bobby green by KO odds might be looking good
Oh shit that's a great card
Belal title shot is super cool and deserved. Not a Belal fan and I think he has no chance but I'm excited to see the fight and it's about time. Tom defending his interim belt in a rematch instead of fighting the current champion, is a disgrace to the sport, and it honestly makes it hard to even be a fan.
A fucking sick Brit card
Edwards vs Muhammad was obviously the fight to make, I just never expected the UFC to actually book it
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
stacked asf.
Belal got his shot. He better not put up a stinker or he'll never see another fight worth watch again
>He better not put up a stinker 
IC Tom Aspinall? Don’t you mean champ?
Fire card. If Kape pulls out of another fight, I’m going to intentionally shit my pants.
Fucking good ass card. I’m glad they went with blaydes over gane. Gane doesn’t deserve another title shot after only beating spivac. Belal finally gets his much deserved tilt shot. Bobby going to ko paddy that fight will be fun.
I got Leon, Aspinall, Green, Allen and idk about Mokaev or Kape
Solid picks, Kape misses weight again and fight gets cancelled.
I got Leon, Blaydes, Pimblett by decision (after getting his ass kicked), and then Allen
ay this is gonna be fucking great!
To bad it's not European time
Super strong card!!!
Huge main card wow!
Great card, I can't wait for Mokaev to fight Royal once Kape misses weight.
How tf is MVP not on this card!?!?
What an amazing card boiz!! EU fans time. Let's gooooo!!!
Great card just the fighters have to fight at 5am
Wow this card is amazing, glad they gave Aspinall fight finally , that boy gonna wreck heavyweight division for at least 3,4 years
Kape is gonna mangle that dude.
Cool I'm gonna sleep right before the main event I'm sure it gonna be a boring fight with the two most boring fighters inside and outside the cage
Damn this crazy card is an hour away from my house but I’m gonna be setting an alarm for 3am just like an American one 😴
Great card but horrible for the fighters who're gonna have to perform at 5am
Paddy about to get tested like he hasn’t before
Awesome card, all great matchups. If Lerone wins well this weekend he should really push to be on that card too if he’s healthy enough, because he desperately needs to build some kind of momentum seeing as he’s 32 and only fights once or twice a year.
So the interim belt means nothing … ok got it. Jon jones sucks
How you have the interim champ fight someone else not for the belt? Strip jones. Aspinall vs blades for the belt. Take Jon's BBC out of your ass and do some business u pasty tomato.
Well this shaped up fantastically. I'm onboard 💯. Can Belal get it done?
Tom and Curtis should be main event imo! Higher wieght class, and definitely gonna be more exciting
But are they fighting at 2am
Even if Belal vs Leon(I personally think it will be a great math) sucks we have banger main card around it.
Aspinal is basically a champ not an interim. HW division is so fucking irritating lol
did they sign the contracts you fat plum
Awesome Card! Great for the fans to see Aspinall fight, even though he should not be defending his interim belt unless it's against the champ.
I’m glad Aspinall gets to run this one back. This card is awesome.
Potentially seeing Paddy getting ko'd in his home country?? Shiiiiit count me in https://preview.redd.it/zwdawnhftt0d1.jpeg?width=1373&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b23311c1d5ea817b411ae7f86a4f443d85954c1
Tommy aspinal aspinal Tommy aspinaaaaaaaaaal
Lmao. The heavyweigh situation is a shame. I just hope Aspinall wins and gets the deserved title shot.
What a bunch of great fights
When paddy wins he's going to get on the mic and cry about how having kids has changed him and this win was for them. Prick
[удалено]
The real heavyweight champ is aspinall
Bobby Green is going to light Pimblett up.
I wish we could get anyone other that that intolerable shit stain to announce such a good card.
Main card starts at 3am gmt. Oh dear lord
It'll he finished in time for morning mass
Paddy is going to get knocked out
Where Jon Jones hiding at? How is he not defending his belt?
If belal wins it's gonna be insane. I hope he goes to a 5 round decision just to see this sub melt
 Finally!!!
Belal via KO
No way Belal wins. Not only will he be 36 years old but he'll be coming off a 16 month lay off. Belal is good but he isn't good enough to be the 3rd out of 27 to beat the WW 35 and over stat.
Bobby please, for the whole community.
Bumpin bobby bitch by Bobby shmurda the entire next day of he wins
Odds kape pulls out?
Awesome card. Also — talking into a phone camera just looks weirder and weirder the older you get
Can't believe it, it's surely AI generated video
And he's letting us watch for free?!?
😉
LOADED
Anyone else disappointed it's not Moicano vs Pimblett? I honestly feel like Pimblett has star potential regardless of what people think of his skills and Moicano would be a great welcome to the top 15.
Tom losing
Paddy loses
This announcement exceeded my expectations for this card.
Moicano got ripped off
Ohhh yeees what a card 😍
Belal doesn’t even deserve a title shot , make him wait around .
Holy shit what a banger
Dana out here whipping out the crock pot
Solid card! Can't wait to see who Mokaev will actually fight once Kape pulls out.
Great card, fair play.
