UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad expects to dominate Jack Della Maddalena. Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC) makes his first title defense against Della Maddalena (17-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) in the UFC 315 main event May 10 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Muhammad was previously set to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov at UFC 310 but pulled out due to a bone infection. Rakhmonov, who fought and beat Ian Machado Garry instead, reportedly couldn't fight Muhammad because of an injury. According to White, Rakhmonov will fight the winner of UFC 315's main event.

UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad has had to wait patiently for his first title defense, but now he has one booked – at UFC 315 in Montreal, Canada.
