Belal Muhammad has its first UFC -Welterweight title defense when he takes on Jack della Maddalena on UFC 315.
The tension between Jack della Maddalena and Belal Muhammad has been warmed up in recent weeks, despite the Tamely starting when the UFC 315 Main Event was announced. Maddalena called Muhammad boring in the structure when they first came to the Octagon's steps in the Octagon.
After the fight of Muhammad on UFC 310 had been canceled, there was some confusion about when his first title defense would be. It appears that Maddalena will be his first challenger and put his undefeated record in the UFC on the line for an opportunity to become the UFC Welterweight champion.
In the meantime, Valentina Shevchenko defends her UFC ladies flying title against Manon Fiorot in the Co-Main event. Shevchenko comes from the back of a trio fighting against Alexa Grasso, who comes at the top of the last fight after a loss, draw and victory.

As the best pound-for-pound female hunter, Shevchenko will be the favorite against Fiorot in Canada. The French hunter, however, is unbeaten in the UFC and with five back-to-back decision has proven victories that she has the cardio to go the full five rounds with everyone in the Achthoek.
In the meantime, the map also contains an exciting fight between Gilbert Burns and Michael Morales. Burns is listed behind the three losses, so that he will be placed on UFC 315 in the sights of a knockout artist.

Muhammad Maddalena mad about his fundraising
Muhammad is not fun by fans for his fighting style, which he uses to grind his opponents instead of flashing victories.
If that did not make him unpopular with them, then recently posts on social media aimed at Maddalena will certainly make him more hated.
With the announcement of Maddalena who holds a fundraising to take his coaching team with him to UFC 315, Muhammad went to X (previously known as Twitter) to mock his efforts.
This trash did not go well, where Kamara usman Mohammed compares with Colby Covington for his comments about the fundraising campaign of the Australians.
