While Carlos
Prates would like Jack
Della Maddalena to beat Belal
Muhammad, he thinks it’s highly unlikely.

Maddalena challenges Muhammad for the welterweight title in the
main event at UFC 315
on May 10 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Prates
notes that Maddalena’s most high-caliber win came against Gilbert
Burns in a fight which the Australian was losing until the last
minute. While Maddalena has finished five of his seven
UFC wins, Prates points out that he went to split decisions
against Kevin
Holland and Bassil
Hafez. Meanwhile, Prates believes Muhammad has made his mark
against much steeper competition.

Prates would like to see Maddalena as champ due to his entertaining
style. However, “The Nightmare” believes it won’t be a hard night
at the office for Muhammad.

“I think Belal [s] gonna win,” Prates told Home of Fight. “Jack
Della Maddalena looks like a good fighter, but he fought one
time [against] Kevin
Holland and he won by split decision. Then he fought another
guy, I don’t remember the name, [who is] not even in the UFC
anymore. And then he fought Gilbert
Burns and he was losing the fight, and in the last minute he
won the fight. OK, it’s good but only his good win is against
Gilbert
Burns. And Belal
Muhammad has been beating a lot of guys really good. I would
like to see Jack
Della Maddalena as a champ because he’s striker and things like
that. But I think Belal
Muhammad’s gonna win. It’s not gonna be a hard fight.”

Maddalena has promised a first-round stoppage win over
Muhammad.

Maddalena finished his first four UFC fights in the first round
before edging out two split decisions followed by a come-from
behind TKO win over Burns. Meanwhile, “Remember the Name” has
almost wiped out the entire division during his current 11-fight
winning streak, which was topped off by his title win over Leon
Edwards at UFC 304 last year.

Meanwhile, Prates is also gearing up for arguably the toughest test
of his career in fellow contender Ian Garry
(15-1). Prates and “The Future” will headline UFC
Kansas City on April 26 at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City,
Missouri. While Prates his finished all four of his UFC opponents,
Garry comes off his lone career loss against elite contender
Shavkat
Rakhmonov.
