MONTREAL we are BACK,” UFC posted on their official X account. “The Octagon is heading up north for #UFC315.”
Initially scheduled to field an undisputed bantamweight title fight rematch between then-titleholder, T.J. Dillashaw and Brazilian veteran, Renan Barao, the above-mentioned Johnson and Horiguchi took main event honors in a short-notice headliner after the initial headliner was scrapped due to injury.
Successfully defending his championship with a stunning fifth round armbar submission win over Japanese star, Horiguchi, Johnson would score the latest finish in Octagon history with a final round finish with just a single second remaining on the clock.
That card would also feature other notable names including former title challengers, Valerie Letourneau, Alexis Davis, and Patrick Cote, as well as former championship winners, Michael Bisping, and Quinton Jackson in main card clashes.
At the time of publication, an official headliner nor any other fights for the UFC 315 card on May 10. have been confirmed by the organization.
