Main Card

Jack Della Maddalena (+160) vs Belal Muhammad

Perhaps it’s foolish to keep expecting Belal Muhammad’s lack of size, athleticism, and finishing ability to catch up to him. But eventually it has to, right?!

JDM is bigger and younger, and a knockout machine. Muhammad will have to tread lightly for 25 minutes and avoid the challenger’s power to win. I don’t think he can do it.

Manon Fiorot (-130) vs Valentina Shevchenko

Two new champs on Saturday, says I! Valentina Shevchenko may have climbed the mountain once again, but she is far from her peak. Manon Fiorot will keep this standing and touch her enough to win a decision and become AND NEW!!!!!!
