Back at it this weekend, the UFC hosts UFC Fight Night: Burns vs. Morales from inside the UFC Apex. Adorning the marquee is a clash at welterweight between one of the division’s mainstays and a newcomer who is making waves. After losing three fights in a row, Gilbert Burns needs a win in the worst way. The 38-year-old once challenged for the division’s championship and almost won by first-round knockout. Things have gone steadily downhill from there, and his title aspirations are all but gone.

The UFC heads north to Montreal this weekend for a loaded pay-per-view event complete with two championship fights atop the marquee. The UFC 315 main event will be the first title defense for welterweight champion Belal Muhammad, who claimed the belt via decision over Leon Edwards last July. The Chicago native will be 37 years old this summer, and, if he is going to put together a Hall-of-Fame-worthy title reign, he needs to kick it off with a dominant performance over Jack Della Maddalena.
