Belal Muhammad correctly forecasted how the Carlos Prates versus Jack Della Maddalena bout would unfold. Muhammad had advised that Islam Makhachev landed effective low kicks in a previous fight, and recommended working the legs, attacking the arms, and striking the head including with kicks. He explained that adding these kicks would make Jack think twice before attacking since he often gets hit, noting that Jack can absorb one strike and return three, but against Prates no fighter would want to eat even one shot. Fans joked that Belal should consider a career as an analyst given his accurate prediction.
