Main Event: Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena – A Clash of Styles
The Stakes
The welterweight division is a shark tank, and the winner of this main event could very well be next in line for a title shot. Belal Muhammad (24-3, 1 NC) has been on an absolute tear, riding a 10-fight unbeaten streak with wins over Gilbert Burns, Vicente Luque, and Sean Brady. His relentless pressure, cardio, and wrestling make him a nightmare for anyone at 170 lbs.
On the other side, Jack Della Maddalena (18-2) is one of the most feared strikers in the division. The Australian phenom has six straight UFC wins, all by finish, with his hands proving to be pure dynamite. His boxing precision and killer instinct have made him a fan favorite—but can he handle Muhammad’s grinding style?
Fight Breakdown
- Muhammad’s Path to Victory: Belal will look to close the distance, clinch, and drag this fight into deep waters. His cardio is elite, and if he can wear Della Maddalena down with takedowns and top control, he could dominate the later rounds.
- Della Maddalena’s Path to Victory: JDM must keep this fight standing. His crisp combinations and power could spell disaster for Muhammad if he lands clean. If he can stuff takedowns and pick his shots, he might secure another highlight-reel KO.
Prediction
This is a classic grappler vs. striker matchup. If Muhammad imposes his wrestling early, he could grind out a decision. But if Della Maddalena finds his range, we might see another brutal stoppage.
Our Pick: Belal Muhammad by unanimous decision (but don’t be shocked if JDM lands a fight-ending bomb).
Co-Main Event: Jailton Almeida vs. Alexander Romanov – Heavyweight Collision
Two massive heavyweights clash as Jailton “Malhadinho” Almeida (21-2) takes on Alexander “King Kong” Romanov (18-2) in a battle that could shake up the division.
- Almeida is a submission specialist with terrifying top control.
- Romanov is a brute with sledgehammer hands and underrated grappling.
Who Wins? If Almeida gets this to the mat, he could snatch a submission. But if Romanov keeps it standing, his power could end the night early.
Prediction: *Jailton Almeida by 2nd-round submission*
