The UFC is heading back to Montreal after a 10-year absence. Get ready for UFC 315, set to take place on May 10
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to make its long-awaited return to Montreal with UFC 315, marking the promotions first event in the Canadian city in nearly a decade. Scheduled for May 10, 2025, the event will take place at the Bell Center, a venue that has previously hosted seven UFC pay-per-view events.
Montreal was once a regular stop for the UFC, with the city hosting events almost annually until 2015. The last time the promotion visited was for UFC 186 in April 2015, which featured a flyweight title bout between Demetrious “Mighty House” Johnson and Kyoji Horiguchi. Johnson secured a dramatic submission victory via armbar in the final second of the fight, successfully defending his title for the sixth time. The co-main event saw Quinton “Rampage” Jackson return to the UFC and earn a unanimous decision win over Fabio Maldonado.
The announcement of UFC 315 has generated excitement among Canadian MMA fans, who have long awaited the promotion’s return. Montreal has been a key market for the UFC, hosting legendary fights featuring stars like Georges St-Pierre, one of the sport’s most celebrated fighters and a hometown hero.
While no fights have been confirmed for UFC 315, the event is expected to feature high-profile matchups. Given Montreal’s rich MMA history, fans can anticipate a stacked fight card with some of the sport’s top athletes.
With the UFCs return to Montreal, UFC 315 promises to be a landmark event, rekindling the city’s deep connection with MMA. As fight announcements unfold in the coming months, anticipation will only grow for what is shaping up to be a memorable night at the Bell Center.
