“Montreal, we are SO back!!” —UFC on X
We’re just a couple of days away from the upcoming UFC 315 pay-per-view (PPV) event, scheduled for this Sat. night (May 10, 2025) at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Topping the card is the welterweight title fight pitting Belal Muhammad (c) opposite Jack Della Maddalena, with Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight strap against Manon Fiorot in the UFC 315 PPV co-main event.
Fans do not appear to be in any big hurry to purchase seats.

Even Las Vegas, fight capital of the world, is not immune to sluggish ticket sales.
That would reinforce this claim that suggests UFC is lacking bona fide superstars. Former light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira recently lost his 205-pound strap and current heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones has gone AWOL. No disrespect to Muhammad and his “Canelo Hands,” but “Remember the Name” has 18 decisions in 24 wins, including seven of his last eight.
That doesn’t put butts in seats.
“This is where it all started for UFC in Canada,” UFC CEO Dana White said when UFC 315 was announced. “Before we were sanctioned across the country, we were packing the Bell Centre with massive fights. Fans have been demanding our return for years and we’re going to deliver an unforgettable pay-per-view. I’m excited to get back.”
Based on current ticket sales, fans do not appear to share that excitement.
