UFC 315 culminated with Jack Della Maddalena claiming the UFC welterweight championship. This happened after a compelling main event clash against Belal Muhammad. The outcome immediately raised questions: does this title win now pave the way for a champion-versus-champion showdown against lightweight king and top pound-for-pound fighter, Islam Makhachev?
Following Saturday`s pay-per-view event, MMA Fighting`s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew provided their analysis on the post-fight show. They discussed Della Maddalena`s championship performance, explored the potential implications of a fight with Makhachev, speculated on Belal Muhammad`s next move, and debated which fighters outside of UFC 315 might be most affected by the main event`s result. Their recap also included other notable fights from the card, such as Valentina Shevchenko`s successful decision victory to retain her women`s flyweight title against Manon Fiorot, Aiemann Zahabi`s controversial decision win over Jose Aldo in what was reportedly Aldo`s final bout, and highlights of other memorable moments from UFC 315.
