UFC confirms first two fights for return to Montreal in May with UFC 315
Former flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and Canadian middleweight Marc-Andre (Power-Bar) Barriault will both fight Brazilians on the UFC 315 card in Montreal in May.
Grasso takes on Natalia Silva while Barriault faces Bruno (Blindado) Silva in the first two bouts confirmed by the UFC for the May 10 show at the Bell Centre.

Natalie Silva (18-5-1) is ranked fifth among the UFC’s 125-pound contenders. The 28-year-old has won 12 straight, including all seven UFC bouts, since a decision loss to marina Rodriguez in December 2017. That win streak includes a decision over Canadian Jasmine Jasudavicius, currently ranked No. 9 among flyweight contenders, in June 2022.
