Muhammad secured his title in a dominant win over Leon Edwards and has also collected victories over top contenders like Gilbert Burns and Vicente Luque. He faces a formidable challenge in Shavkat Rakhmonov (18-0), who has finished all 18 of his opponents, making him one of the most feared fighters in the division.
