The UFC returned to Montreal for the first time in ten years with UFC 315, where Jack Della Maddalena won the welterweight title. The event saw over 19,000 fans, leading UFC officials to acknowledge Montreal's significance as a Pay-Per-View city. David Shaw indicated intentions to host at least three events annually in Canada going forward, reflecting on the disruption caused by COVID-19. While no specific future events were confirmed, Shaw assured that they are actively working on scheduling further shows in the fall.
âYeah absolutely. I think in our mind, Montreal is a Pay-Per-View city, and so there are a number of Pay-Per-View cities in Canada.â
âWeâre trying to get back to maybe three events a year. So it certainly wonât be as long as itâs been.â
âNor do we have a city to disclose. But weâre actively working on it. Not going to happen in the summer, so weâre looking at the fall.â
