UFC 315 tickets are still readily available a few days before the pay-per-view (PPV) event, sparking fan concerns.
Saturday, May 10, sees the UFC head to the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada, for what has been billed as a heavily anticipated show.
With the welterweight title fight between champions Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena topping the card, Valentina Shevchenko will also defend her flyweight belt against Manon Fiorot in the co-main event.
But while promoters have been talking up the latest UFC PPV, fans appear in no hurry to fill seats.
UFC 315 Tickets Still Easily Available
As of Wednesday, 7 May (just three days before the event), there were still a huge number of empty seats in the arena.
Fans have taken to social media to voice their concerns.
Some even blamed main event fighter, Belal, for failing to bring in the crowds.

The poor ticket sales show a worrying trend for the UFC in recent times.
Even Las Vegas – known as the fight capital of the world – has seen slow ticket sales.
Some argue that the UFC lacks any genuine superstars at the moment, but UFC CEO Dana White says the event in Montreal has plenty of demand.
He said: “This is where it all started for UFC in Canada.
“Before we were sanctioned across the country, we were packing the Bell Centre with massive fights. Fans have been demanding our return for years and we’re going to deliver an unforgettable pay-per-view. I’m excited to get back.”
But the current ticket sales would suggest fans are less enthused than Dana White.
