The main event will see Belal
Muhammad look to cement himself as the best fighter at 170
pounds with a championship defense against Jack
Della Maddalena. Meanwhile, the co-main event will see Valentina
Shevchenko attempt to defend her second reign as women’s
flyweight beltholder against Manon
Fiorot. All four title tilt participants successfully made
weight.

As for the rest of the card, only Bruno Silva
failed to make weight, as he was one pound over the middleweight
limit for his pairing with Marc-Andre
Barriault. Additionally, the Jose Aldo vs.
Aiemann
Zahabi clash was moved to featherweight on weigh-in day due to
weight issues for Aldo. Silva received a 20% fine of his purse, and
the match will otherwise proceed as scheduled.

Muhammad (24-3, 1 NC) enters his first title defense on a six-fight
winning streak. „Remember the Name“ hasn’t tasted defeat since 2019
and was dominant in his championship victory over Leon
Edwards last year. The 36-year-old weighed 170 pounds on the
dot while wearing sunglasses for the pay-per-view headliner.

This marks the biggest fight in the career of Della Maddalena
(17-2). The 28-year-old Australian fighter is undefeated inside the
UFC, having won seven straight fights. These include a split
decision win over Kevin
Holland and a brutal knockout of Gilbert
Burns in his last outing. „JDM“ also weighed 170 pounds exactly
for his first championship bout.
