UFC 315: Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena main card revealed
The UFC 315 main card is official.
Next month, UFC 315 goes down from Bell Centre in Montreal, headlined by a pair of title fights. In the main event Belal Muhammad defends his welterweight strap against Jack Della Maddalena. Muhammad was originally supposed to faced undefated Shavkat Rakhmonov in the main event of UFC 310, however an injury forced him out of the bout, and Rakhmonov himself got injured, leading to Maddalena stepping in.
In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko defends her women’s flyweight title against Manon Fiorot. Already a surefire Hall of Famer, Shevchenko reclaimed her featherweight title with a dominant decision win in her trilogy bout with Alexa Grasso at UFC 306. Now “Bullet” begins the second title reign of her illustrious career against the surging Fiorot, who has won seven in a row since joining the UFC.
Aside from the two top fights, the UFC also revealed the rest of the UFC 315 main card during this past weekend’s UFC 314 event. In the feature bout of the evening, featherweight GOAT Jose Aldo takes on rising contender Aiemann Zahabi in a battle of top 15-ranked bantamweights.
Also on the main card, former women’s flyweight champion and No. 1-ranked Alexa Grasso returns for the first time since losing her title to Shevchenko, when she faces off with No. 5-ranked Natalia Silva. And in the main card opener, the always exciting Benoit Saint Denis takes on Joel Alvarez.
UFC 315 takes place on May 10, with the main card airing live on ESPN+ pay-per-view.
