Jack Della Maddalena Beats Belal Muhammad in Five-Round War to Win Welterweight Title – UFC 315 Highlights

Jack Della Maddalena scored the biggest win of his MMA career, defeating Belal Muhammad in the UFC 315 headliner to become the new welterweight world champion.

JDM appeared to find his range almost immediately, walking down Muhammad and landing some solid strikes. ‘Remember The Name’ more than held his own on the feet, only shooting for a single takedown in the round, which JDM fended off with relative ease.

Things remained fairly competitive in the second stanza, with Muhammad again failing to get the fight to the mat. Still, Muhammad is hanging with JDM on the feet, but it appears that JDM may be landing the more significant strikes through the first 10 minutes of the contest.
