UFC 315: Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena for Welterweight Title, Shevchenko Faces Fiorot in Montreal

UFC 315, set to take place at the Bell Centre in Montreal, features two championship bouts. In the main event, Belal Muhammad will defend his UFC Welterweight Championship against Jack Della Maddalena. Muhammad, a Chicago native, is favored to retain his title, with odds listed at -200, while Della Maddalena, an Australian contender, stands at +150. The co-main event will see Valentina Shevchenko defending her Women's Flyweight title against Manon Fiorot. Shevchenko, known for her finishing ability, is listed at plus money, indicating a competitive match-up against the French challenger. This event marks the 850th Women's fight in the UFC, the 58th Women's title fight, the 30th Women's fight of the year, and the 13th Women's Flyweight title fight.

The event also includes a significant bout between former champions, with Jose Aldo facing Aiemann Zahabi. Originally scheduled at bantamweight, the fight was shifted to featherweight after Aldo missed the weight limit, weighing in at 143 pounds. This adjustment came after negotiations, as Aldo's miss was significant enough to warrant more than the standard fine. If Manon Fiorot wins, she would become the 17th woman to win a UFC championship.

Other notable fights on the card include Alexa Grasso versus Natalia Silva in the women's flyweight division, and Benoit Saint Denis taking on Kyle Prepolec in the lightweight category. The prelims and main card are set to showcase a mix of established fighters and rising stars, including Ian Machado Garry, Modestas Bukauskas, Ion Cutelaba, Jessica Andrade, and Jasmine Jasudavicius, with several Canadian fighters also featured on the lineup.
