Khabib Nurmagomedov Praises Belal Muhammad Ahead of UFC 315

UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad is set to defend his title against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315, with significant attention on Muhammad's fighting style and physical attributes. While some fans and pundits have criticized Muhammad as a 'boring' champion due to his tendency to win by decision, Maddalena himself defended Muhammad, comparing him to legendary champion Georges St-Pierre and emphasizing the importance of consistent winning. UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov has praised Muhammad for his exceptional cardio, calling it the best in the welterweight division and possibly all of UFC, and suggesting it could be a decisive factor in his upcoming title defense. Nurmagomedov, who has trained with Muhammad, highlighted that his endurance enables him to maintain pressure throughout five rounds, making him difficult to defeat unless finished early. However, fans have debated whether Muhammad truly possesses the best cardio in MMA, with some suggesting other fighters like Merab Dvalishvili might surpass him in this regard. Despite differing views, Muhammad's preparation and the high stakes of UFC 315 have generated considerable buzz around the bout.
