Belal Muhammad vs Gabriel Bonfim Odds & Main Event Preview
FC returns to the APEX this weekend with a pivotal welterweight showdown between former champion Belal Muhammad and rising contender Gabriel Bonfim. The event serves as a bridge to the highly anticipated UFC Freedom card at the White House, giving several fighters an opportunity to make a statement before one of the biggest events in company history.
Muhammad enters the fight looking to rebound after a difficult 2025 campaign. The former welterweight champion dropped his title to Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315 and later suffered another setback against Ian Machado Garry. Despite those losses, Muhammad remains one of the division’s most experienced contenders and enters this matchup as a slight betting favorite at -112. Fans can revisit his last title defense in our UFC 315: Muhammad vs Maddalena preview.
Standing across from him is one of the division’s most dangerous prospects. At just 28 years old, Bonfim has quickly climbed the rankings with his aggressive striking and finishing ability. While Muhammad is looking to prove he still belongs in the title picture, Bonfim sees this as an opportunity to score the biggest win of his career and move closer to championship contention.
The co-main event features Brendan Allen vs Edmen Shahbazyan in a crucial middleweight clash. Allen is looking to secure one more victory before making a serious push toward the Top 5, while Shahbazyan hopes to continue rebuilding momentum. Fans should also keep an eye on Bryce Mitchell vs Santiago Luna, a matchup that could have implications in the featherweight rankings.
