Belal Muhammad (1,53) x Jack Della Maddalena (2,50)
Belal Muhammad | enters the octagon with an unbeaten streak of six years — or 11 fights — to prove it. His greatest weapons are his grappling and a physical fitness that would make his opponents envious, who are able to withstand the five intense rounds of the main fight. However, his opponent Jack Della Maddalena doesn't know what it's like to lose in the UFC. Buoyed by his knockout victory in Gilbert Durinho, in March 2024, the Australian comes from a sequence of seven triumphs within the organization.
Despite looking like a 'bogeyman', Della Maddalena is seen as an underdog by bookmakers, paying 2,50 against 1,53 for the welterweight champion.

But on the opposite side of the octagon is an undefeated athlete in the organization. Number 2 in the category, Manon Fiorot comes from 12 consecutive victories, the last of them against Erin Blanchfield, in March 2024.
With this consistent sequence, Fiorot is a challenge to be beaten and that is why she is considered the favorite by the bookmakers, paying 1,80 against 2,02 for the champion Shevchenko.
