UFC 315: Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena Analysis
UFC drops by Montreal for UFC 315, an action-packed night of MMA fights kicking off at 3:30 p.m. PT, with prelims at 5 p.m. PT, and the main card starting at 7 p.m. PT. With six Canadian fighters and one from the US, the crowd is set to be as rowdy as ever.
Some last-minute shuffling happened due to an injury, with Joel Alvarez withdrawing from his lightweight fight against Benoit Saint Denis. Kyle Prepolec, a Canadian fighter, has stepped in on short notice to take the fight.
This event features five "big boy" fights (men weighing 170 pounds and above). Three of these battles are scheduled for a 1.5 Rounds total.
Predictions:
Belal Muhammad -180 vs. Jack Della Maddalena +155 (Welterweight Championship)
JDM continues his undefeated streak in seven UFC bouts with impressive victories against diverse opponents. With a black belt in BJJ, he is a relentless, aggressive striker. In Muhammad, we have a fighter who has a world-class wrestling pedigree and iron-clad determination. A wrestling match seems likely, with Muhammad aiming to negate JDM's striking space and sap his energy.
UFC 315 Best Bet: Belal Muhammad -180
Valentina Schevchenko +120 vs. Manon Fiorot -140 (Women's Flyweight Championship)
Current champion Valentina Schevchenko takes on up-and-coming French fighter Manon Fiorot. With an impressive list of victories, Fiorot presents a significant challenge due to her unusual size, height, reach, striking ability, and youth. Schevchenko, a multi-talented MMA fighter and champion, has a diverse attack and dynamic ability in wrestling, grappling, Muay Thai, Capoeira, and Sambo. The fight will depend on Fiorot's ability to force Schevchenko to complete all five rounds standing. If she can do so, the odds might lean towards Fiorot.
Personal Opinion: UFC 315 Best Bet: Muhammad -180/Fiorot -140 parlay 1u to earn 1.67u
Ion Cutelaba -115 vs. Modestas Bukauskas -105 (Light heavyweight)
Lithuania's Modesta Bukauskas faces the Moldovan madman, Ion Cutelaba, in a regional battle. Cutelaba is a maniacal, aggressive power striker with a forceful grappling base, while Bukauskas is a tall, angular athlete who is dangerous on the feet and agile with his grappling. This fight is a clash of styles, with Cutelaba's volume and conditioning against Bukauskas' measured, better-paced offensive threat and defensive skills. If Bukauskas can weather Cutelaba's first five minutes, he might gain the advantage.
