Belal Muhammad(c) vs Jack Della Maddalena
Belal Muhammad needs to win and he needs to make a statement so that everyone knows just who he is. The man doesn’t lose, you’ve gotta go back 6 years to find a loss and that was against veteran Geoff Neal.
All work and no play makes Jack a good fighter that’s only lost twice nearly a decade ago. If it’s not a knockout this fight is going to go down as one of the most boring title fights in the history of the sport. Belal is a decision merchant, he ain’t gonna push the envelope to entertain the people.
This is a fight to watch because we are gonna find out if Belal Muhammad is truly championship material.
José Aldo vs Aiemann Zahabi
No doubt about it, you gotta watch any and all Jose Aldo fights. It wasn’t so long ago that Aldo lost to Mario Bautista. Let’s hope whatever rust Jose Aldo has he has worked through.
Zahabi’s last loss was 6 years ago so he’s coming in with a win streak of 5. All of the momentum is on his side and he should be able to grind one out against the aging Aldo.
Alexa Grasso vs Natalia Silva
These two fighters are so damn likeable that I almost don’t wanna see the fight.
Grasso beat Valentina once and couldn’t do enough to win again. A two fight losing streak really can be it in the fight game, we’ve seen it before. I do not believe that is the case with Alexa Grasso but the fight game takes no prisoners, a loss here could mean even more losses and eventual release.
Silva comes in off of a 12 fight win streak which is insane. Every ounce of momentum is on her side and she SHOULD cruise to a decision victory but that’s no fun. Grasso is no easy task but if you can frustrate her then her two previous losses may start to play tricks on her mind.
Final take
Valentina Schevchenko is on the card and I am completely uninterested in that fight. Schevchenko should make easy and quick work of her opponent. The card is strong but could be a LOT stronger. I am happy with the fights that we do have though, should be a fun one.
