Potential battle card additions

It already features some of the best UK and Ireland fighters in the sport. With the likes of Leon Edwards, Tom Aspinal and Arnold Allen all featuring. The UFC has done a good job of delivering a card that isn’t just for the home crowd.

With ten games currently in the draft, expect at least two more additions. Some fights that could make the UFC 304 card are as follows.

Ian Garry and Michael Page would appreciate a fight close to home. The pair have been rumored to face each other since Page’s debut win over Kevin Holland. Both are ranked in the top ten in the division. If Garry fails to land a spot on the upcoming UFC 303 card, where better to throw down than Manchester.

Another name in contention is Lerone Murphy. The Manchester native would love to fight in his hometown, fresh off the biggest win of his career last weekend. However, given the timing, this seems unlikely, though not impossible.

Another name doing the rounds is France’s Morgan Charriere. The Cage Warriors alum has strong ties to the UK and is 1-1 in the UFC.

Jai Herbert, team-mate of leader Leon Edwards, also teased that he could fight at the event. Black Country Banger is a regular on the UK cards and provides fireworks for the fans.
