Belal Muhammad will put the welterweight title on the line against Jack Della Maddalena this Saturday at UFC 315. Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena is just one of two title fights on the card, with women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko facing Manon Fiorot in the co-main event.
Muhammad won the title in his most recent fight, bullying Leon Edwards en route to a clear unanimous decision victory. In Della Maddalena, he faces a dangerous striker who has won 17 consecutive fights, with 14 coming by stoppage.
Shevchenko finds herself in a similar position to Muhammad, making the first defense of the title she regained in her most recent outing against a fighter on a lengthy winning streak. After seven defenses of the women’s flyweight title, Shevchenko suffered a shocking upset loss to Alexa Grasso. After fighting Grasso to a draw in the rematch, Shevchenko won their trilogy fight to regain the title. Now, she’ll put that belt on the line against Fiorot, who is riding a 12-fight winning streak.
With so much happening on Saturday night, let’s look closer at the full fight card with the latest odds before we get to our staff predictions and picks for the PPV portion of the festivities.
