UFC 304 social media reactions: Belal Muhammad's title win over Leon Edwards leaves mixed feelings from fighters

[autotag]Belal Muhammad[/autotag] backed up an incredible amount of smack talk towards [autotag]Leon Edwards[/autotag] by claiming the welterweight title in the UFC 304 main event.

After their March 2021 fight ended in a no contest due to an accidental eye poke, Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) has insisted he was going to win that fight. It took him years to get the opportunity, but he showed there was credence behind his words with a unanimous decision win over Edwards (21-4 MMA, 13-3 UFC) to add his name into the history books of 170-pound champions, which includes legendary names.

To make things even sweeter, Muhammad entered enemy territory Saturday at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, and took the belt on Edwards' home soil.

Check below for the top X (formerly Twitter) reactions to Muhammad beating Edwards at UFC 304.
