We’re simply a few days away from the upcoming UFC 315 pay-per-view (PPV) occasion, scheduled for this Sat. night time (Might 10, 2025) at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Topping the cardboard is the welterweight title struggle pitting Belal Muhammad (c) reverse Jack Della Maddalena, with Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight strap in opposition to Manon Fiorot within the UFC 315 PPV co-main occasion.
Followers don’t look like in any large hurry to buy seats.
Even Las Vegas, struggle capital of the world, will not be resistant to sluggish ticket gross sales.
That will reinforce this declare that means UFC is missing bona fide superstars. Former mild heavyweight champion Alex Pereira lately misplaced his 205-pound strap and present heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones has gone AWOL. No disrespect to Muhammad and his “Canelo Palms,” however “Keep in mind the Identify” has 18 choices in 24 wins, together with seven of his final eight.
That doesn’t put butts in seats.
“That is the place it began for UFC in Canada,” UFC CEO Dana White mentioned when UFC 315 was introduced. “Earlier than we have been sanctioned throughout the nation, we have been packing the Bell Centre with huge fights. Followers have been demanding our return for years and we’re going to ship an unforgettable pay-per-view. I’m excited to get again.”
Based mostly on present ticket gross sales, followers don’t seem to share that pleasure.
