Belal Muhammad shares picture of injured eye in first post-fight statement

Nobody wanted to see UFC Vegas 21 end the way it did last night. The main event, which saw Leon Edwards return to action after a lengthy time away ended when he poked Belal Muhammad in the eye.

The eye poke was one of the nastier ones we’ve seen in recent time and nobody is questioning whether or not Muhammad could (or should) of continued fighting. The fight, which promised to offer either Edwards a route to the title shot or Muhammad a chance to springboard into the title picture, is now rendered a non-event.
