Jose Aldo vs. Aiemann Zahabi Set For UFC 315

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has officially announced a highly anticipated bantamweight bout between former featherweight champion José Aldo and Canadian contender Aiemann Zahabi. This exciting matchup is scheduled to take place at UFC 315 on May 10, 2025, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 

José Aldo (32-9), widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history, aims to rebound after a nail-biting split decision loss to Mario Bautista at UFC 307, which many regard as a robbery. Prior to that, Aldo secured a unanimous decision victory over Jonathan Martinez at UFC 301, marking his return to MMA following a three-fight stint in boxing after his initial retirement in 2022.

Aiemann Zahabi (12-2), hailing from Laval, Quebec, enters this bout on a five-fight winning streak. His most recent victory was a unanimous decision over Pedro Munhoz in November 2024. Fighting out of the renowned Tristar Gym in Montreal, Zahabi looks to capitalize on the opportunity to face a legend like Aldo on home soil, which could propel him into the upper echelon of the bantamweight division. 

UFC 315 features a stacked card, headlined by a welterweight title bout between champion Belal Muhammad and challenger Jack Della Maddalena. The co-main event showcases Valentina Shevchenko defending her flyweight title against Manon Fiorot. The Aldo vs. Zahabi fight is expected to be a significant main card attraction, drawing considerable attention from fans eager to see the legendary Aldo compete against the surging Zahabi. 

Tickets for UFC 315 are expected to go on sale soon, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats early for what promises to be an unforgettable night of mixed martial arts action in Montreal.
