Rumour: UFC to Return to Perth – But Jack Della Maddalena’s UFC 315 Result Could Decide When

Della Maddalena vs Belal Muhammad Set for UFC 315

Perth’s Jack Della Maddalena is set to challenge reigning welterweight champion Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 in Montreal on May 10. The fight marks the West Australian's first shot at UFC gold after a string of dominant performances, including a memorable third-round TKO over Gilbert Burns at UFC 299.

Perth’s UFC Future Could Hinge on Della Maddalena’s Result

According to behind-the-scenes whispers, the UFC’s return to Perth later this year may depend on the result of UFC 315. If Della Maddalena pulls off the upset and becomes champion, sources suggest the UFC is planning a blockbuster pay-per-view (PPV) event at RAC Arena in September. However, if Muhammad retains the title, Perth may instead host a more low-key UFC Fight Night in July.

A Win Could Bring Title Defence Home

Della Maddalena has made no secret of his desire to headline in front of a home crowd again, following his standout win at UFC 284 in Perth. A title victory in Montreal could set the stage for a triumphant return, possibly defending the belt on home soil just four months later.

What’s Next?

With the welterweight division in flux and Della Maddalena on the brink of stardom, all eyes will be on UFC 315. Whether Perth gets a Fight Night or a full-scale PPV could come down to the result of one of the most anticipated matchups of the year.
