Set for their first outing of the year in ‘The Great White North’, the Octagon leader lands in Canada this weekend for a title fight doubleheader on their UFC 315 flagship card.
From top to bottom of the main card, the event is littered with some high-profile names, as well as their double salvo of championship pairings.
Taking headlining honors, incumbent welterweight kingpin Belal Muhammad returns in his first defense of that throne, as he welcomes the incoming Australian force, excelling striker, Jack Della Maddalena.
And prior to that, two-time flyweight queen, Valentina Shevchenko, looks to kick off her second title reign with a bang, as she fights French force, Manon Fiorot, in her first surge to championship spoils.
Furthermore, former featherweight champion Jose Aldo returns at the bantamweight limit. As part of his retirement tour, the Brazilian takes on Canadian boy, Aiemann Zahabi — in a pair that much has been made of.
The Main Event: Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalen
Winning the belt last summer at UFC 304, Muhammad would exact a wrestling and grappling clinic on rival Leon Edwards, bringing a definitive end to his title run.
He was supposed to duel against the undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov, but an injury took the Kazakh out of the equation. And Perth native Della Maddalena found himself in the right place at the right time.

Now, JDM has promised to retire Belal, while the Palestinian-American champion has promised to march on to yet another routine win.
The Co-Main Event: Valentina Shevchenko vs. Manon Fiorot
Regaining the flyweight crown last September in her trilogy bout with Grasso, veteran tactician Shevchenko looks to begin her second reign with a win against a real emerging talent, Fiorot.
Recording a record-setting first stint as queen at 125lbs, Shevchenko has rattled off notable wins over the likes of Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Jessica Andrade, and Taila Santos, to name a few.

But in the background, Nice native Fiorot has embarked on her own impressive run.
Taking out former champion Rose Namajunas in her native France as part of her rise, Fiorot would beat the highly-regarded Erin Blanchfield in her main event debut back in March of last year — earning her way to a title shot.
With the title doubleheader on deck for the Bell Center in Montreal, let’s get all the start times for fans to watch the massive UFC 315 card this weekend.
