UFC 315 -- Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena: Fight card, odds, start time, rumors, date, complete guide
UFC is back in Canada on Saturday night for its latest PPV offering. A pair of title fights top the marquee in Montreal for UFC 315 at the Bell Centre with Belal Muhammad looking to make the first defense of his welterweight title and Valentina Shevchenko kicking off her second reign as women's flyweight champion.
The welterweight champion earned his title with an incredibly dominant performance his last time out. Muhammad took out Leon Edwards in Edwards' backyard of England to run his unbeaten streak to 11. He's beaten some of the best fighters in the world during that run, including Gilbert Burns, Sean Brady, Vicente Luque, Stephen Thompson and Demian Maia. Now, he takes on a short notice opponent in Jack Della Maddalena after the No. 1 contender, Shavkat Rakhmonov, was forced to withdraw with injury.
Shevchenko, meanwhile, looks to begin her second reign atop the 125-pound division when she takes on Manon Fiorot. Shevchenko completed her trilogy against former champion Alexa Grasso in her last appearance after the two went 1-1-1 over three fights, but their last being the least exciting. Now, "Bullet" gets arguably a tougher test in Fiorot, who has won all seven of her UFC fights, including against top contenders like Erin Blanchfield and Rose Namajunas in her last two appearances.
Elsewhere on the card, former featherweight king Jose Aldo returns once again to take on Aiemann Zahabi. After a brief retirement, Aldo is 1-1 in his return and hoping to make waves again to become a two-division champion. Plus, Grasso looks to get back in the win column in a pivotal women's flyweight contest against rising contender Natalia Silva. And rising French knockout artist Benoit Saint-Denis looks to add to his resume against short-notice foe Kyle Prepolec.
