The Main Event: Belal Muhammad vs. Gabriel Bonfim

This is a pivotal crossroads fight in the welterweight division.

Belal Muhammad (Ranked Number 5): The 37-year-old former champion is looking to kick off his 2026 campaign by snapping a tough two-fight skid. After losing his title to Jack Della Maddalena, he dropped a close decision to Ian Machado Garry late last year. He needs a win here to stay in the elite tier of the division.

Gabriel Bonfim (Ranked Number 11): The surging 28-year-old Brazilian contender enters his second consecutive UFC main event riding a four-fight winning streak, most recently stopping Randy Brown. Carrying a stellar 19-1 overall record, a win over the former champ would vault him directly into the title conversation.

The Matchup: Muhammad is known for his relentless forward pressure and high-level wrestling pace. Bonfim, however, welcomes the grappling and boasts a highly dangerous submission game, making this an excellent stylistic clash.
