Main Event
The action-packed night culminates in a battle for the welterweight title, with champion Belal Muhammad taking on No. 5 Jack Della Maddalena. Muhammad (24-3), unbeaten in his last 11 trips to the Octagon spanning six years, looks to emerge victorious with a dominating performance in his first-ever title defense after defeating Leon Edwards for the belt last July. Della Maddalena (17-2), the Dana White’s Contender Series alum on a 17-fight career winning streak with five finishes in seven Octagon appearances, looks to make a statement in his first title opportunity and add another showstopping KO to his resume.
Co-Main Event
The co-main event features a showdown to decide the women’s flyweight championship between current titleholder Valentina Shevchenko and No. 2 contender Manon Fiorot. Shevchenko (24-4-1), the current women’s pound-for-pound leader and future UFC Hall of Famer holding countless divisional records, looks to showcase her dominance in her 12th consecutive title fight and first defense of her second championship reign. Fiorot (12-1), undefeated since her career opening loss and perfect in seven Octagon appearances, plans to make the most of her first UFC title opportunity with a commanding win against an MMA icon.
