(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Belal Muhammad after UFC Fight Night 187 no contest?)

Leon Edwards experienced disappointment Saturday when his main event with Belal Muhammad at UFC Fight Night 187 ended in a no contest.

Edwards (18-3 MMA, 10-2 UC) accidentally poked Muhammad (18-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) in the eye in the second round of their welterweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, spoiling a potential shining moment for the Brit in a big spot.

“Rocky” appeared to be en route to a big win that would potentially lock up a title shot at 170 pounds, but now the next step is murky for him.

What does the future hold for Edwards now after the unfortunate outcome? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis after UFC Fight Night 187.
