The octagon bore witness to a fierce battle as Belal Muhammad’s chapter as welterweight champion closed at UFC 315, in a match that was as bloodied as it was dramatic. Facing off against the relentless Jack Della Maddalena, Muhammad found himself on the losing end of a unanimous decision.

While this setback may appear discouraging, there are still thrilling opportunities on the horizon for Muhammad, age 37, particularly one matchup that simply can’t be overlooked.
