Belal Muhammad is feeling violent.
Almost a 12 months faraway from his spectacular title-winning efficiency towards Leon Edwards in Manchester, ‘Keep in mind The Title’ returns to the Octagon at UFC 315 this Saturday evening, set to defend his welterweight crown towards Aussie standout Jack Della Maddalena in Montreal.
“I’ve been dying. I’ve been ready for my first title protection, and it’s lastly right here,” Muhammad stated in the course of the UFC 315 pre-fight press convention. “We’re solely a few days away, and also you’re about to see the best MMA efficiency you’ve ever seen in your life.”
Muhammad’s first battle as a UFC champion has been a very long time coming, and the Chicago native is able to relieve his pent-up aggression in The Nice White North.
“He’s going to wish the ref to avoid wasting him on Saturday evening once I break him,” Muhammad added. “He’s going to wish the ref to tug me off him. That’s what he’s going to wish saving from.”
Fairly robust discuss for a man with a paltry 20% end charge contained in the Octagon, however possibly we’ll see a extra violent model of ‘Bully B’ in The 514.
Will Belal Muhammad snap JDM’s near-decade-long unbeaten streak?
Hoping to chop Muhammad’s title reign brief, Maddalena walks into his first UFC championship alternative with 17 straight wins, a streak that started all the best way again in October 2016 beneath the Everlasting MMA banner.
A few intently contested break up determination wins towards Bassil Hafez and Kevin Holland appeared to halt JDM’s title quest in the interim, however he rapidly quelled claims that he wasn’t prepared for the highlight with a brutal beatdown of Gilbert Burns at UFC 299 in March.
