Belal Muhammad makes his first title defense against Jack Della Maddalena, streaming exclusively on STARZPLAY.
Dubai, UAE, 9 May 2025: STARZPLAY, the leading subscription video on demand (SVOD) service in the MENA region, will exclusively stream UFC 315 live from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada, this Sunday, 11 May, at 6 AM GST. The event features a highly anticipated welterweight title bout between reigning champion Belal Muhammad and surging contender Jack Della Maddalena, alongside a major women’s title fight in the co-main event.
In the headline bout, Belal Muhammad steps into the Octagon for his first title defense. With a professional record of 24 wins and 3 losses, he claimed the welterweight crown in July with a commanding unanimous-decision victory over Leon Edwards. Unbeaten since 2019, Muhammad has become a fan favourite across the Middle East, celebrated for both his fighting spirit and Arab roots.
Challenging him is Australia’s Jack Della Maddalena, who boasts an impressive record of 17 wins and 2 losses. After dropping his first two professional bouts, he has remained undefeated since 2016, establishing himself as one of the most dynamic fighters in the division.
The co-main event sees former flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko looking to reclaim her title against France’s Manon Fiorot, currently ranked second in the division. A victory would mark the beginning of a new chapter in Shevchenko’s storied career.
Don’t miss a minute of the action. UFC 315 will be available to stream live and on-demand only on STARZPLAY. Visit www.starzplay.com for more information.
