Jack Della Maddalena vs. Carlos Prates – Welterweight Main Event
After dropping his first two pro bouts, Della Maddalena won 18 straight. This includes his first eight UFC bouts, held between 2022 and 2025, culminating with his win over Belal Muhammad to capture the UFC welterweight championship at UFC 315. This is JDM’s first bout since dropping the title to Islam Makhachev in his first defense at UFC 322.
Prates is 6-1 since earning a UFC contract, making his UFC debut in 2024. All six of his UFC wins thus far have come by knockout, and his sole loss came against Ian Machado Garry — a bout Prates almost won via a comeback finish. Prates enters this fight off a second-round knockout win over former champion Leon Edwards at UFC 322.
The co-main event will be a lightweight bout between Beneil Dariush and Quillan Salkilld. Dariush has lost three of his last four, most recently getting knocked out by Benoit Saint-Denis in just 16 seconds at UFC 322. Salkilld is 11-1 professionally, including a 4-0 UFC record. He last fought at UFC 325 in January, submitting Jamie Mullarkey.
