UFC 315 is just around the corner, and the card is absolutely stacked. The spotlight is on the high-stakes welterweight showdown between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena (JDM) — a fight that could determine the next title contender. But that’s not all. With José Aldo’s shocking return and Valentina Shevchenko’s championship rematch, fans are in for a night of drama, legacy, and possibly major upsets. Let’s break down the final predictions for the biggest fights of UFC 315.

 BELAL MUHAMMAD vs JACK DELLA MADDALENA

This is a true clash of styles between two surging welterweights.

Belal Muhammad is a relentless grinder. His pressure, wrestling, and cardio wear opponents down over time. He’s been quietly beating top contenders and feels more than ready for a title shot.

Jack Della Maddalena, on the other hand, is a technical striker with crisp boxing, calm composure, and fight-ending precision. He’s not just winning — he’s finishing.

Prediction: If this goes into the later rounds, Belal’s pace and control could give him the edge. But if Jack can establish his rhythm early, he could land something big.

Final Pick: Jack Della Maddalena via Split Decision or a late TKO — but it’ll be close.

 JOSÉ ALDO RETURNS — Still Got It?

After his 2022 retirement, José Aldo is back in action, and fans are buzzing. A living legend and former featherweight king, Aldo’s return is both unexpected and electrifying.

His opponent is younger and faster, but Aldo’s timing, fight IQ, and signature low kicks could neutralize that speed. The big question is: can his body still deliver?

Prediction: If Aldo can keep the fight standing and control the pace, his veteran savvy should be enough.
Final Pick: José Aldo by Unanimous Decision — a gritty, tactical win.

 CAN SHEVCHENKO TAKE BACK THE THRONE?

Once considered the most dominant woman in MMA, Valentina Shevchenko is looking to reclaim her flyweight title in a highly anticipated rematch against Alexa Grasso. After being submitted in their last fight, Shevchenko returns with something to prove.

She still has elite striking, masterful footwork, and sharp counters. But Grasso is unpredictable, confident, and now knows how to win against her.

Prediction: Expect a calculated performance from Valentina. If she avoids the ground traps and stays technical, she can edge it out.
Final Pick: Valentina Shevchenko via Split Decision — a razor-close war.

Jack Della Maddalena def. Belal Muhammad (Split Decision or TKO)
