Belal Muhammad accurately predicted Prates' victory over Della Maddalena

Belal Muhammad successfully forecasted how Carlos Prates would defeat Jack Della Maddalena, emphasizing the importance of leg kicks and diverse striking. Muhammad had recommended that fighters attack Della Maddalena's legs and arms, and use head kicks, noting that Della Maddalena tends to absorb one strike to land three in return. Against Prates, Muhammad warned, no fighter would want to absorb even a single strike given the Brazilian's power. The analysis proved prescient as Prates dominated using exactly these tactics. Muhammad's accurate breakdown has led to suggestions he should consider a career as an MMA analyst.
