Belal Muhammad to Defend UFC Title Against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315

The reshuffled main event in Montreal pits the reigning welterweight champion against a surging Australian knockout artist after Shavkat Rakhmonov withdrew due to injury.

Belal Muhammad will defend his welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena on May 10 at UFC 315 in Montreal's Bell Centre.
Muhammad was originally slated to face Shavkat Rakhmonov, but the Kazakh fighter withdrew due to injury and plans to face the winner later this year.
Jack Della Maddalena, on a 17-fight win streak, steps into the title bout after his scheduled fight with Leon Edwards was reassigned to Sean Brady.
Conor McGregor has reignited a public feud with Muhammad, criticizing the champion's boxing skills and questioning his popularity and accomplishments.
Oddsmakers have Muhammad as the favorite, but Della Maddalena’s knockout power presents a significant challenge for the champion's first title defense.
