Maddalena (18-3) returns for the first time since losing his title to Islam Makhachev at UFC 322. Prior to that setback, “JDM” was on a tear — winning eight straight inside the Octagon and riding an 18-fight win streak overall, with notable victories over Belal Muhammad , Gilbert Burns ( watch highlights ), Kevin Holland , and Randy Brown . As for Prates (23-7), he’s following a very similar trajectory — flattening everyone in his path.
