Welterweight fans are in for a treat this Saturday as a high-stakes headliner between Jack Della Maddalena and Carlos Prates. JDM is set to defend his home turf against one of the most dangerous strikers in the division today. See our Jack Della Maddalena vs Carlos Prates match prediction.
JDM looks to rebound after his most recent match ended in a tough unanimous decision loss to Islam Makhachev last November. That defeat snapped a legendary winning streak that saw him capture the welterweight gold earlier in 2025.
Maddalena will likely rely on his quick combinations and a granite chin to outwork Prates. However, The Nightmare is currently the most feared man in the division after a run of brutal knockouts. His most recent match was a career-defining performance at UFC 322, where he shocked the world by knocking out Leon Edwards in the second round.
The Brazilian is a long and rangy Muay Thai specialist possessing a five-inch reach advantage in this matchup. Carlos has shown a terrifying ability to end fights with a single shot, whether it is a straight left or a perfectly timed knee.
