Jack Della Maddalena will face welterweight champion Belal Muhammad in the main event of UFC 315. Ahead of the bout, Maddalena shared his opinion on Muhammad's fighting style and also compared him to UFC great Georges St-Pierre.
The No.5-ranked Maddalena is preparing to face Muhammad after the No.2-ranked Shavkat Rakhmonov wasn't able to fight due to injury.
Speaking on The Grin Reapers Podcast, Maddalena defended Muhammad's fighting style and said:
"Yeah, not the most exciting guy. He’s good at winning. People who are good at winning not always the most exciting. Like GSP, he coped a bit back in the day and people would say he's boring. And then once his career is done you [look back and] go, 'Ahh...'So I think Belal is good at winning but he has shown he can be beaten and I think I'll get him."

"He [Belal Muhammad] can hold down the strikers, he can outstrike the grapplers. That sort of thing. So, you gotta give him credit. I definitely think it's a boring style, but I mean, I think winning is obviously his number one goal, and fair play to him, but I feel like I can beat him. I'm a more dangerous fighter for sure and I think I can not only get the world title but get the world title off a dominant finish."
