Thu Feb 20 04:00:00 UTC 2025: ## UFC 315: Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena Headlines Montreal Card
**Montreal, QC** – The UFC has announced a blockbuster main event for UFC 315 on May 10th in Montreal, pitting Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad against the undefeated Jack Della Maddalena. This matchup comes after a last-minute change due to an injury to Shavkat Rakhmonov, who was originally slated to face Muhammad. Della Maddalena was pulled from a scheduled fight at UFC London to take the title shot.
The co-main event will feature a highly anticipated Flyweight title fight between champion Valentina Shevchenko and challenger Manon Fiorot. Shevchenko moves on from her recent rivalry with Alexa Grasso to face Fiorot, who boasts a seven-fight win streak in the UFC.
Adding to the excitement, Gilbert Burns will face Michael Morales in a compelling welterweight clash.
UFC President Dana White revealed the revised card during a Wednesday night Instagram Live session. The event will air live on ESPN+ pay-per-view from the Bell Centre in Montreal. Muhammad will be making his first title defense after recovering from a foot injury, while Della Maddalena brings a perfect 7-0 UFC record into the title bout.
