Dana White drops a bomb as the future of mixed martial arts will shape up after UFC 315

As the countdown to UFC 315 continues, the stakes surrounding Saturday night’s event have soared beyond the welterweight championship. The main event clash between Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena is set to determine the division’s next titleholder-but it could also influence the future of one of the sport’s biggest rising stars, Ilia Topuria.

At Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, UFC President Dana White revealed that the result of the Muhammad-Della Maddalena bout could play a significant role in determining Topuria’s next opponent at UFC 317, scheduled for June 28 in Las Vegas. According to White, Topuria is expected to face either Islam Makhachev or Charles Oliveira, a development that the Spanish-Georgian fighter himself confirmed while appearing on the Spanish program “El Hormiguero”.

The connection between Muhammad and Makhachev adds an intriguing layer to the situation. The two fighters share a close friendship, making a potential clash between them highly unlikely. Should Della Maddalena pull off the upset, Makhachev-who currently reigns as the UFC lightweight champion-would likely move up to 170 pounds to challenge him. That scenario would leave Oliveira as the expected opponent for Topuria.

The other possible scenario

On the other hand, if Muhammad retains his title, the door could open for the highly anticipated Makhachev vs. Topuria showdown. With Topuria boasting a perfect 16-0 record and Makhachev standing at 27-1, both fighters are considered among the best pound-for-pound competitors in the sport. Topuria recently vacated his featherweight belt, making his intentions clear-he wants a shot at lightweight gold, and he wants to take it from Makhachev himself.

White acknowledged that the situation remains fluid, stating at the press conference that “There’s a lot of moving parts right now, and that’s pretty accurate.” Nonetheless, the impact of Saturday’s fight on UFC matchmaking cannot be overstated. The welterweight title bout will not just crown a champion but could reshape the lightweight division’s landscape heading into the summer.

With fans eagerly awaiting the resolution, all eyes will be on the Octagon this weekend. Whether Muhammad retains his belt or Della Maddalena claims victory, the decision could set off a ripple effect that defines the UFC’s championship picture for months to come.
