Prior to the scrap, BJPenn.com contacted several profighters to obtain predictions for the welterweight title fight. Pros are unanimous to believe that Muhammad’s pace and wrestling will be too big, perhaps as he protects his belt by decision.
The fighter at bjpenn.com chooses Beral Muhammad vs Jack Maddarena:
Dan Ige, UFC featherweight: I think I’m a beral by decision. He can oversee Jack. Gilbert succeeds against JDM, and Beral has a pace that allows him to mercilessly beat Jack and win a clear decision.
Modestas Bukauskas, UFC Light Heavyweight: I think Belal Muhammad will win. He has excellent wrestling and I think he’ll do what he did to Jack Leon. Jack really has a round or two to knock him out.
Thiago Moises, UFC lightweight: I’ll go with Beral Muhammad. I think he can oversee Jack and win the later rounds. Jack has to knock him out and Beral has a good chin.
Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: Man, Beral is cool. His boxing looks good and he has a relentless pace. I think Muhammad can overtake Jack and protect his belt.
Dustin Jacoby, UFC Light Heavyweight: I am bringing Beral Muhammad by decision.
Chase Hooper, UFC lightweight:Belal Muhammad. I think he will use his wrestling and grappling to control the fight and win a clear decision.
Gillian Robertson, UFC strawweight: The Berals are so good, so balanced. He can take down Della Maddalena and get a decision victory here.
