UFC 315 is scheduled 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, while Valentina Shevchenko defends her women`s flyweight belt against Manon Fiorot. Despite presenting a seemingly strong lineup, particularly on the pay-per-view portion, there appears to be a notable lack of widespread excitement surrounding this specific event. What factors might be contributing to this subdued reaction?
In a brand new installment of the `Between the Links` discussion series, the panel delves into the major talking points leading up to UFC 315. They will analyze the fan reception to the card, discuss the implications and potential outcomes of the two title fights, and identify fighters who could potentially deliver standout performances and “steal the show.” The conversation also includes a review of notable events from the past weekend, including the challenging results faced in the boxing world, the #ufcdesmoines event, Cory Sandhagen`s impressive victory in the main event, and the fallout and reactions surrounding Bo Nickal`s first professional defeat.
The panel, moderated by host Mike Heck, features insights from Alexander K. Lee representing MMA Fighting and Brian Campbell from Morning Kombat.
