The main event will see Belal Muhammad defend his Welterweight title against Jack Della Maddalena.
This is Muhammad’s first title defense in the UFC. He won the championship at UFC 304 in July of last year, defeating Leon Edwards by unanimous decision. Muhammad has a career record of 24-3 with one no-contest, with just six wins coming by knockout or submission.
Della Maddalena was supposed to face Edwards at Fight Night back in March, but was pulled from the card in order to face Muhammad for the title. This is his first championship bout in the UFC, having not lost an MMA bout in almost nine years. Della Maddalena is 17-2 with 12 wins by knockout.

This is Fiorot’s first UFC title fight, earning the shot at the belt with wins in her first seven bouts with the promotion. She has a record of 12-1 with six victories coming via knockout.
