UFC 315 might have another fight coming.

The Montreal PPV features a double championship headliner, with Belal Muhammad defending his welterweight throne against Jack Della Maddalena, and Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight title against Manon Fiorot.

Another all-action fighter has confirmed he'll be joining the fray...

Benoit Saint Denis announces he'll be fighting at UFC 315

France's Benoit Saint Denis has remarked that he'll be joining the fight card on May 10. 'God of War' revealed the fact in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel on March 31.

"[...] You are leaving for Montreal in Canada for a fight on the 10th," Denis' interviewer revealed in an intermission.

Because of the French-Canadian audience at UFC 315, it makes sense for Denis to fight somebody like Fares Ziam. Not only would Denis get the opportunity to steal Ziam's momentum and break his losing streak, Ziam would be able to get his name out there with a win over a higher-ranked opponent.
