UFC 315 is set to take place this Saturday in Montreal, featuring two significant championship bouts. The main event will see Belal Muhammad challenge Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC Welterweight title, alongside Valentina Shevchenko facing Manon Fiorot for the Women`s Flyweight championship. While the event boasts a strong lineup, particularly the main pay-per-view portion, there appears to be a noticeable lack of widespread excitement or “buzz” leading up to the event. This raises the question: why is the anticipation seemingly low for such a quality card?
These questions, along with other major talking points, were central to the discussion on a recent episode of `Between the Links`. The panel explored the key storylines surrounding UFC 315, gauged fan reaction to the card lineup, analyzed the two title fights in depth, and speculated on which fighters might deliver standout performances. Furthermore, the conversation included a recap of significant moments from the past weekend in combat sports, touching upon challenges faced in the boxing world, Cory Sandhagen`s impressive victory in his recent main event, the first professional defeat suffered by Bo Nickal, and the subsequent reactions and analysis surrounding his loss.
The discussion was moderated by Mike Heck, featuring insights from MMA Fighting`s Alexander K. Lee and Brian Campbell from Morning Kombat.
