The main event for the upcoming UFC Fight Night will be a hanger in the welterweight division. Gabriel Bonfim (19-1-0) will take on veteran Belal Muhammad (24-5-0).
Bonfim has been on a mission since joining the UFC in 2022. He racked up 3 straight submission victories to start his tenure. He suffered a tough KO loss to Nicolas Dalby in November of 2023. However, he has since gone on and picked up 4 straight wins as he heads into this contest with Belal. His latest win was a strong KO finish of Randy Brown with a knee. Now, he gets an opportunity to fight a top 5 ranked welterweight and former champion that would vault him up in the rankings.
Belal is coming off two straight losses. It was the 1st time he lost back-to-back fights in his career. Losing is never a good thing, but his two losses came to two of the top 5 welterweights in the world. He dropped the belt to Jack Della Maddalena and then subsequently lost to the hottest fighter in the division, Ian Machado Garry.
Bonfim is a strong grappler who has picked up 13 of his career's 19 wins via submission. He faces a tough matchup in Belal, who has never been submitted and has a motor that makes most opponents break in the championship rounds.

Our Belal Muhammad vs Gabriel Bonfim Prediction
This is a solid matchup for Muhammad, who has been matched up with two very tough opponents recently. Not to say Bonfim is not tough, but his grappling style is not going to be effective against Muhammad. Sean Brady was not successful against Muhammad, and he brought arguably the strongest grappling background to the fight. We like Muhammad to drag Bonfim to deep waters and break him come the 4th or 5th round to pick up the decision victory.
