The anticipation for UFC 315 is reaching new heights as two thrilling title fights headline the event on May 10 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The welterweight and flyweight divisions are set for intense showdowns, promising an unforgettable night for MMA fans worldwide.
Belal Muhammad is finally ready to make his first welterweight title defense after overcoming a severe foot injury that sidelined him from UFC 310. However, his originally expected opponent, Shavkat Rakhmonov, is out due to injury. Stepping in as an unexpected but dangerous challenger is Jack Della Maddalena, who boasts an impressive undefeated 7-0 record in the UFC.
Dana White confirmed the matchup during an Instagram Live session, shaking up the division with this electrifying main event. With Muhammad looking to solidify his reign and Maddalena eager to prove he belongs among the elite, this battle is set to deliver fireworks.
In the co-main event, Valentina Shevchenko moves past her rivalry with Alexa Grasso to take on another formidable challenger—Manon Fiorot. Fiorot has been on a tear in the flyweight division, securing seven consecutive wins, including dominant performances against Erin Blanchfield and former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas.
Shevchenko, known for her precision striking and elite grappling, will be looking to silence any doubts about her reign. Fiorot, on the other hand, is aiming to seize the opportunity of a lifetime and claim the flyweight title for herself.
Adding to the excitement, the event also features a compelling welterweight clash between Gilbert Burns and rising star Michael Morales. With these matchups set in stone, UFC 315 is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling fight cards of the year.
With championship gold and legacies on the line, UFC 315 is not to be missed.
