The UFC's security team have done a good job of keeping the pair away from one another at the fighter hotel in central Manchester.

But they ended up having an awkward encounter in the lift on Tuesday afternoon.

Muhammad was in the elevator with one of his pals when Edwards walked in with one of his coaches, his manager and his brother Fabian.

You could cut the tension - which Edwards broke by mocking Muhammad's 'Remember the Name' moniker - with a knife.

An unknown person could then be heard saying, "I smell p****y."

Muhammad, who enters his first title fight on a five-fight win streak, responded by saying "The v****a just walked in."

Thankfully, both men remained consummate professionals and didn't escalate what could've potentially been a volatile situation.

Although Muhammad did exchange some words with Edwards' head coach Dave Lovell after they got out of the lift.

Footage of the incident went viral and quickly became the talk of MMA fans, many of whom claim Edwards came out victorious from the altercation.

One said: "Notice how differently Belal started chewing his gum once Leon walked in?

"Belal wascared as hell once Leon looked into his eyes."

Another said: "So Belal lied about what happened in the lift then?"

And another said: "The eyes never lie. Belal is cooked."

One remarked: "10-7 Leon."

Another chimed in: "Belal looking like he saw a ghost when that door opened."

Edwards and Muhammad's first meeting in March 2021 ended in a No Contest due to an accidental eye poke from the Brit.
