Where to watch Belal Muhammad on TV and online in Spain and what time is his fight against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 315?
For another month, the UFC, the world's top mixed martial arts (MMA) company, returns with a new numbered event. Canada will host UFC 315, where two championship fights will be on the line. Valentina Shevchenko will face Manon Fiorot in the co-main event. In the main event, Belal Muhammad will seek to make his first defense of his welterweight (170 pounds or 77.1 kilos) belt against Jack Della Maddalena.
But this clash won't just affect the 170-pound weight class. This fight goes much further. As Dana White confirmed in a press conference, the result will affect Ilia Topuria's next opponent . If Belal wins, Islam Makhachev would not seek the double belt, having to fight the Spanish-Georgian. Otherwise, the Russian would move up to fight Della Maddalena, leaving Charles Oliveira to face El Matador for the 155-pound belt.
But it's not all good news. Spain was going to have a much stronger presence on this big card. Joel Álvarez was set to face off against Frenchman Benoit Saint Denis in a contest that promised to be a showdown. All of their victories have come before the final whistle . However, the Asturian injured his hand just days before leaving for Montreal. Now the Frenchman will face local Kyle Prepolec.
Despite this notable absence, the lineup is still holding up. In addition to the champions, José Aldo , considered by many to be the best featherweight (145 pounds or 65.8 kilos) in history, will also be present. Although he retired a few years ago, he returned to MMA after a few boxing matches. Mexican Alexa Grasso will be representing the Spanish-speaking fighter.
While not one of the year's best cards, UFC 315 remains a high-quality event. Both championship bouts will provide guaranteed entertainment and are also very important for the future of their divisions. The experienced Valentina Shevchenko will have to prove that her loss and subsequent draw with Alexa Grasso are behind her and that she's back to being the dominant champion she once was. She'll face the hungry Manon Fiorot. But that's not all. Belal Muhammad vs. Jack Della Maddalena is a fight that will have a huge impact on the entire UFC, as it will decide Islam Makhachev's next move and Ilia Topuria's next opponent .
Well, UFC 315 will kick off at 12:30 a.m. (CEST) with the first prelims. After those three fights, one less than usual, the prelims will begin at 2:00 a.m. At 4:00 a.m., Benoit Saint Denis and Kyle Prepolec will give way to the main card, where the main fights will be held.
