Maddalena: "Next year, I will knockout Muhammad."

UFC Australian welterweight division prospect Jack Della Maddalena has expressed confidence that next year he will capture the title Belal Muhammad has held since July.

"In 2025, I will knock Muhammad out. He will fall after a left jab. Before that I would like to fight someone above me in the rankings - Shavkat Rakhmonov, Colby Covington or Kamaru Usman. After that, the fight with Muhammad will be easy," Maddalena said at the press conference.

Maddalena knocked out Gilbert Burns in his last fight at UFC 299 in March.
