Belal Muhammad defends his UFC Welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315 in Quebec on May 11. Originally set to face Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310, Muhammad now makes his first title defense against a dangerous striker.
Muhammad’s grinding, grappling-heavy style has kept him unbeaten for six years, despite criticism — including Maddalena calling him “boring.” Maddalena, with 12 KOs in 17 wins, will look to avoid the mat and end things early.
