Belal Muhammad will have a tough ask ahead of him as he readies to defend his title for the first time. After securing an all-important win over the former champion, Muhammad will be looking to continue with his good work. However, there are certain things that he might want to revisit from his last bout, like his overdependence on wrestling. And while the champion is making conscious efforts, Muhammad must feel upbeat looking at some particular stats.

Recent information posted on ‘Red Corner MMA’ has revealed a surprising coincidence. The last two opponents Muhammad faced had something in common. Both Sean Brady and Leon Edwards had a double-digit winning streak before they lost to Muhammad. While Brady had a 15-fight winning streak, Edwards lost after winning 12 in a row.

And guess what? This is also the same situation with Jack Della Maddalena. Coming into UFC 315, the Aussie fighter is in tremendous form! However, having won 17 bouts on the trot might go against him if this statistic is to be believed. Meanwhile, setting aside the stats, backing Muhammad on pure technique is none other than Khabib Nurmagomedov!

Khabib Nurmagomedov is in awe of Belal Muhammad’s cardio. In a recent statement, ‘The Eagle’ stated that Muhammad’s ability to push towards his opponent relentlessly makes him a fearsome fighter. Add to that his extremely well-rounded striking, which makes him a well-rounded opponent for even the toughest of the lot. Thus, according to the Dagestani legend, it will be hard to get over Muhammad for Della Maddalena.

“I believe it will be very hard to beat Belal. If Maddalena or Shavkat dont finish him early, Belal is just going to keep pressing. His endurance is really good. In fact, I think it’s the most underrated aspect in MMA today,” saud Khabib.

Thus, with some significant positives coming his way, it remains to be seen how Belal Muhammad goes about this fight.
