UFC 315 concluded with a bang as Jack Della Maddalena secured the UFC welterweight championship. His victory came after an exciting main event bout against Belal Muhammad.
This title change immediately sparks significant discussion about a potential superfight. Could we see a champion-versus-champion showdown between Della Maddalena and the dominant lightweight titleholder, who is also considered the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, Islam Makhachev?
Following the pay-per-view event on Saturday, MMA analysts Mike Heck and Jed Meshew provided in-depth reaction to Della Maddalena`s championship triumph. Their discussion covered the potential implications of a fight against Makhachev, what the future holds for the now-defeated Belal Muhammad, and considered which fighters outside the main event might have seen their prospects affected by the outcome.
The post-fight coverage also reviewed other key results from the UFC 315 card. This included Valentina Shevchenko successfully defending her women`s flyweight title in a decision victory over Manon Fiorot. Additionally, attention was given to Aiemann Zahabi`s controversial decision win against the legendary Jose Aldo, in a fight many believe could mark Aldo`s retirement from the sport. Various other memorable moments from the event were also analyzed.
