Belal Muhammad will not fight Shavkat Rakhmonov, he will face another opponent. The UFC has set the champion to fight Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315.
Fans expected that the UFC 315 event at the Bell Centre in Montreal would feature a fight for the welterweight division belt, in which Belal Muhammad and Shavkat Rakhmonov would meet. In fact, the fight announced by the UFC champion will take place, however, he will face a different opponent.
Belal Muhammad was scheduled to fight Shavkat in December, however, he suffered a bone infection in his foot and had to withdraw from the event. As a result, Rakhmonov faced Ian Machado Garry and defeated him after a judges’ decision. Now it is the Kazakh who is injured and the announced duel will be delayed again.
The opportunity will be seized by Jack Della Maddalena, who was matched against Leon Edwards in the evening fight of the March UFC gala in London. The Australian has a magnificent series of seventeen wins in a row, seven of which he recorded in the octagon of the UFC organization.
Jack Della Maddalena has never fought an opponent with such a strong wrestling base. The popular JDM knocked out the versatile Gilbert Burns in 2024, but Durinho comes from Brazilian jiu-jitsu, not wrestling.
The Belal Muhammad vs Jack Della Maddalena fight will take place on May 10 at UFC 315 in Canada. At stake in the bout will be the championship belt of the welterweight division. The clash has been contracted for five rounds.
