The Octagon returned to Montreal for tonight’s UFC 315 pay-per-view event, and 4 fighters wound up taking home performance bonuses.
The fight card was headlined by a welterweight title fight between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena. The contest proved to be a coming out party for Jack Della Maddalena. The Australian standout was able to get the better of Belal Muhammad in the striking throughout the majority of the contest, this while stuffing most of the takedowns that came his way. Even when ‘JDM’ got taken down, it never took him long to return to his feet. After a chaotic fifth and final round it was clear that Jack had done enough to hear the words he’s longer for, “And NEW!”.
UFC 315 was co-headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Manon Fiorot. The highly anticipated matchup resulted in another solid showing for ‘The Bullet’.

However, Shevchenko came back strong in round four and dropped the challenger with a right. While round five was close, Shevchenko seemed to do the better damage and ultimately won the decision.
