UFC 315 saw notable victories by Valentina Shevchenko and Jack Della Maddalena, which could impact several weight classes. Analyst Carlos Barreto highlighted Shevchenko's resurgence against Manon Fiorot, suggesting that a potential super fight with Zhang Weili may follow. He also noted Maddalena's strategic win against Belal Muhammad, hinting at shifts in the lightweight and welterweight divisions, including possible matchups involving Makhachev and Oliveira. The article underscores the ripple effect of these fights on UFC rankings and future title opportunities.
I expected an extremely aggressive Manon [Fiorot] to surprise Valentina with her good speed, greater reach and tactical understanding, but it looks like the trilogy with Alexa rekindled the best Valentina.
The [Gilbert] Burns fight was very good for Maddalena to correct gaps (mainly takedown defense). Maddalena deserved to win.
Based on the posts exchanged between [Weili] Zhang and Valentina, everything indicates that the UFC will hold a super fight between the two champions.
Everything indicates that Makhachev will move up to fight Maddalena, while Charles Oliveira and Ilia Topuria should fight for the interim lightweight title.
