UFC 315 is gearing up to be one of the most highly anticipated events of the summer, featuring a lineup that combines emerging talents with seasoned veterans. However, it’s the main event that has everyone buzzing — a welterweight title clash between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena that holds significant implications for two divisions. With both fighters feeling the pressure to perform, the spotlight is shining brighter than ever. And just days before the fight, one champion received a phone call that could add even more fuel to his already burning motivation.
As Muhammad gets ready to defend his title against the rising Della Maddalena, he was surprised with a FaceTime call from country rap sensation Jelly Roll. The moment, captured by the UFC and shared by Red Corner MMA, showed Jelly Roll offering his full support. “My soul is now counting on Bully B, baby, to take this motherf***er to the f***ing grave — down at three Canelo hands,” he passionately exclaimed. He continued, “I put my money where my boy Belal told me to put it baby!” A visibly pumped Muhammad exhaled and replied, “That just got me hyped up!”

Jelly Roll’s enthusiasm for the UFC is nothing new. The Nashville native has made appearances at several UFC events and regularly shares his fight reactions online. His gritty, blue-collar image has resonated well with the UFC fanbase.
With the stakes at an all-time high, Belal Muhammad has even more reason to give it his all. Dana White has emphasized the importance of the UFC 315 main event for the organization’s future. A victory for Muhammad could potentially pave the way for a monumental superfight between Ilia Topuria and Islam Makhachev. But first, Belal must handle his business, with a touch of country inspiration now in his corner.
