Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena preview
Muhammad, the current UFC welterweight champion, is a two-time Performance of the Night and one-time Fight of the Night winner. The native of Chicago began his career in August 2012, when he knocked out Justin Brock at 2:17 of the first round of their bout at Hoosier Fight Club 12 in Valparaiso, Ind. He later won the inaugural Titan FC welterweight championship with a fourth-round knockout of Steve Carl in April 2016. After joining UFC, he suffered his first loss with a unanimous decision against Alan Jouban at UFC Fight Night: dos Anjos vs. Alvarez in July 2016 in Las Vegas.
Despite the loss, he earned Fight of the Night honors. He continued to hone his skills in UFC and went through a stretch of five wins and three losses, before getting on his current roll. Since losing to Geoff Neal at UFC 236 in April 2019, he has gone 10-0 with one no contest after an accidental eye poke ended his first matchup with Leon Edwards in 2021. He is 24-3-1 in his career, including five wins by knockout, one by submission and 18 by decision. Check out SportsLine to see his picks and analysis.
Della Maddalena turned professional in March 2016, and started his career competing for Eternal MMA. After losing his first two professional bouts, Della Maddalena has rattled off 17 consecutive wins. He is a one-time Reign Fighting and one-time Eternal MMA welterweight champion. He joined UFC in 2022 and promptly earned the 2022 UFC Men’s Rookie of the Year and the Cageside Press 2022 Newcomer of the Year, along with Jailton Almeida.
He is a four-time UFC Performance of the Night winner, and earned Fight of the Night honors once. In 19 career matches, Della Maddalena has 12 wins by knockout, two by submission and three by decision. Since January 2022, he has registered four wins by knockout in seven bouts.

UFC 315 predictions
We’ll reveal one of Vithlani’s UFC 315: Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena selections here: Ivan Erslan (+250 at FanDuel Sportsbook) to defeat Navajo Stirling (-340) in a light heavyweight matchup on the preliminary card.
“The odds are a bit too wide here, in my opinion,” Vithlani told SportsLine. “Stirling is a 6-0 prospect with potential who trains out of the famed City Kickboxing MMA gym in New Zealand. Stirling has granite in his fights and great athleticism. While I do think he has room to develop into a quality light heavyweight, I’m not sure he deserves to be a 3-1 favorite in his second UFC fight. Stirling is still learning MMA on the job and remains a bit unrefined. Erslan is 14-4 in his pro MMA career and is coming off a nasty back-and-forth affair with Ion Cutelaba that resulted in a split decision. Erslan has gone five rounds before and has higher level experience. I’m willing to make a small bet that Erslan’s power and experience win out.” See who else to back here.
