UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad is set for his first title defense against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315. Muhammad, who has not lost since January 2019, recently secured the title by defeating Leon Edwards. Della Maddalena, however, poses a significant challenge with an unbeaten record in the Octagon, recently overcoming Gilbert Burns through TKO. In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko will defend her women's flyweight championship against undefeated Manon Fiorot. Insights from experts like Dan Hardy and Angela Hill provide strategic perspectives on the approaching fights.
Muhammad is such a well-rounded fighter. He's strong but not overpowering to the point he gasses himself out. He's not super fast, but fast enough to land strikes. He will likely crowd Della Maddalena with his wrestling because he knows Della Maddalena's hands are so sharp.
If I were in his corner, I would have Muhammad working at a slightly longer range for this fight. I would also have him looking to throw a lot of kicks.
