This Saturday, UFC 315 is set to take place in Montreal, featuring two significant title fights. The main event pits Belal Muhammad against Jack Della Maddalena for the UFC welterweight championship, while the co-main event sees Valentina Shevchenko challenge Manon Fiorot for the women’s flyweight title. Although the fight card, particularly the pay-per-view portion, is considered strong, there seems to be a notable lack of general anticipation surrounding this specific event. This episode of Between the Links explores the reasons behind this.
In this latest installment of Between the Links, the panel delves into the main talking points leading up to UFC 315, discusses fan reception to the card, breaks down the two championship bouts, and identifies potential standouts. Additionally, they recap the key events from the previous weekend, including challenging results in the boxing world, highlights from #ufcdesmoines, Cory Sandhagen`s important main event win, and the recent professional loss suffered by Bo Nickal, along with the subsequent online reactions.
The discussion is hosted by Mike Heck, who is joined by contributors Alexander K. Lee from MMA Fighting and Brian Campbell from Morning Kombat.
