Pros react after Jack Della Maddalena dethrones Belal Muhammad at UFC 315
Tonight’s UFC 315 event was headlined by a welterweight title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena.
Muhammad (24-4 MMA) was looking to earn his first career title defense when he took to the Octagon this evening in Montreal. ‘Remember the Name’ had of course captured the promotion’s welterweight title this past July in Manchester, scoring a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Leon Edwards. The 36-year-old had entered tonight’s title bout on a 10-fight winning streak, which includes victories over Gilbert Burns, Sean Brady and Stephen Thompson.
Meanwhile, Jack Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA) had entered his first career UFC title fight sporting 17-fight winning streak, his most previous effort resulting in a third-round knockout victory over Gilbert Burns. Prior to that triumph, ‘JDM’ had earned a decision win over Kevin Holland.
Tonight’s UFC 315 main event proved to be a coming out party for Jack Della Maddalena. The Australian standout was able to get the better of Belal Muhammad in the striking throughout the majority of the contest, this while stuffing most of the takedowns that came his way. Even when ‘JDM’ got taken down, it never took him long to return to his feet. After a chaotic fifth and final round it was clear that Jack had done enough to hear the words he’s longer for, “And NEW!”.

JDM has the most knockdowns in the division!
Belal is the defending champion. I wonder if Jdm has the tools to stop Belal from out wrestling and weaponizing his cardio to defend the throne. #UFC315— Dominick Cruz (@DominickCruz) May 11, 2025
10-9 Maddalena. Belal needs to wake up! #UFC315
