The coming Saturday at UFC 315, Belal Muhammad will make the first defense of his welterweight title when he compiles Jack della Maddalena in the main event.
Belal Muhammad looks at his 170 pound title next Saturday in Montreal when he compiles Jack della Maddalena in his first title defense since he won the title last July.
In anticipation of their collision, Della Maddalena may have been slapped, because his game plan was leaked for the fight, giving Mohammed some insight into what to expect.
Although neither hunters have problems making weight, Ian Machado Garry is set to weigh as a backup after beating Carlos Prates just a few weeks ago.

Ian Machado Garry sends Della Maddalena a gift
With Machado Garry hopeful at the last minute, he took matters into his own hands in an attempt to sabotage the main event.
In a video placed on his Instagram, Ian Machado Garry gave his son a big pack of Peanut M & Ms to take over the Australian after they found out that they are his favorite food.
The polite della Maddalena gracefully accepted the gift of the son of Ian Machado Garry, unlikely that it falls for the bait, while the Irishman is sitting and hopes for a weight mess.
None of the most important event hunters has ever missed the weight, but Muhammad has plagued a potential movement to middle weight to erase the path for Islam Makhachev to go to the Welterweight.
Although the Irishman weighs as a backup, it is unclear whether he will be the next in line for the title, with Shavkat Rakhmonov probably to fight for the title after he cannot compete on UFC 315 due to injury.
Machado Garry interviews Belal Muhammad prior to fighting
Machado Garry not only tried to sabotage the weight movement of Della Maddalena, he also held a short interview with the champion.
The interview remained respectful when the Irishman had his son with him, who would ask Muhammad if he could beat Della Maddalena on the feet.
