In the main event, Belal Muhammad will defend his UFC Welterweight Championship against Jack Della Maddalena. Muhammad won the belt by beating Leon Edwards last July at UFC 304.

Muhammad has 24 wins and three losses and carries a ten-match winning streak into this weekend’s fight. His last defeat came against Geoff Neal via unanimous decision at a UFC Fight Night in January 2019. His last non-win was a no-contest bout against Leon Edwards in March 2021 due to an accidental eye poke.

Most of Muhammad’s fights go the distance, as 18 of his 23 wins have come via decision.

Jack Della Maddalena hasn’t lost a mixed martial arts match in nearly a decade. Della Maddalena has gone on a rampage after starting his career 0-2 in 2016, winning his next seventeen fights in a row.

Della Maddalena is a striker – 12 of his 18 wins have come by knockout. The judges scored the bout in his favor in his three fights that went the distance.

Despite Jack’s nine years of going undefeated, online UFC sportsbooks are favoring the champion by a margin of 125 points in the moneyline odds.
