(AP Photo/Frank Franklin II, File) Belal Muhammad vs Jack Della Maddalena UFC 315 is the most happening fighting event this weekend, as UFC returns to Montreal for the first time after 2015. Muhammad will enter the Octagon on Saturday, May 10, to defend his UFC welterweight title. The duo will face off in the main event, which is slated to take place at the Bell Centre in the Canadian city. Muhammad is heading to the bout with a record of 24 wins and three defeats. His welterweight championship is the prize that he earned by defeating Leon Edwards via a unanimous decision in July last year. Muhammad hasn't faced a loss in his last 11 fights. His last defeat was way back in January 2019, which saw Geoff Neal earn victory through unanimous decision.

The Aussie has not faced a single defeat under the UFC banner, having piled up 7 back-to-back victories since debuting for the apex MMA promotion.
