Della Maddalena received the opportunity to challenge Muhammad for the welterweight crown in UFC 315's main event after no. 1 contender Shavkat Rakhmonov pulled out of the title fight due to a reported knee injury. The Australian took full advantage of the situation and became the new undisputed champion by securing a unanimous decision victory.

In an interview with James Lynch of Sportskeeda MMA Originals earlier this month, Klein lauded Della Maddalena for his impressive performance, saying:

Della Maddalena, known for his boxing prowess, caused significant harm to Muhammad while also demonstrating excellent takedown defense throughout the fight. Many in the MMA community were astonished by the 36-year-old's lack of wrestling attempts, as Muhammad admitted disobeying his coaches' gameplan in a recent episode of Remember the Show podcast.

However, many were impressed by Muhammad's resilience, as he voiced his desire to make his octagon return against Kamaru Usman, if the latter prevails over Joaquin Buckley next month at UFC Atlanta.

As for Klein, he is scheduled to face no. 7-ranked Mateusz Gamrot at UFC Vegas 107 this Saturday. 'Mr. Highlight' has six victories and one draw in his last seven MMA outings. In his most recent octagon appearance at UFC Paris, the 30-year-old secured a unanimous decision win over Roosevelt Roberts.
