Meeting statistics

The current form of Belal Muhammad

Belal Muhammad (24-3, 5 KO victories) is the current UFC champion in the welterweight class and also a former Titan Fighting Championships welterweight champion. Despite having 18 fights under his belt by competing in the world’s top league for nearly a decade, the American got the opportunity to compete for the title in his most recent bout. He defeated Leon Edwards on points, so it must be noted that he made successful use of the opportunity.

Muhammad doesn’t seem to have the capacity to be a champion for many years and hasn’t asserted complete supremacy in the division. He fights cautiously, tries to avoid errors, and despite being the champion, he doesn’t spark much attention from the league’s management or MMA aficionados.

The current form of Giacomo Della Maddalena

Giacomo “Jack” Della Maddalena (17-2, 12 KO victories) had two losses at the beginning of his professional career before he started to destroy everyone in his path and eventually made it to the UFC title battle.

The Australian has already won seven straight games under Dana White’s tutelage, five of which came early. Prior to that, Della Maddalena narrowly beat Kevin Holland via split decision, but then he defeated Gilbert Burns in his most recent bout.

Head-to-head

These two have never met in the Octagon before.

Match analytics

It’s widely believed that the fact Della Maddalena was entitled to compete for the title came too soon. Muhammad’s technique is to just wear out the opponent, stay out of dangerous situations, and win on points in a peaceful manner. It’s not easy to finish off an American; Muhammad’s last early defeat was in 2016, during his UFC debut. Furthermore, there are most likely no ways to beat him at this time.

Tip: Fight Result – Match: Muhammad, B, with odds of 1.43 on Kikobet.
