Three weeks after SummerSlam, the Ultimate Fighting Championship will return to pay-per-view with UFC 215. The show will be headlined by a flyweight battle between Demetrius Johnson and Ray Borg, with 13 flights on the undercard. What does this have to do with Jinder Mahal vs. Shinsuke Nakamura?

A fighter by the name of Arjan Bhullar will make his debut on the undercard, in a heavyweight fight against Luis Henrique. Bhullar recently posted a picture of himself and Jinder Mahal on his Instagram, revealing that the current WWE Champion will accompany his team to the octagon on September 9. The event also happens to take place in Mahal's home state.

It seems unlikely that WWE will take the belt away from Jinder before taking advantage of a promotional opportunity such as this. Jinder may not have his hand raised at the end of the match on Sunday, but WWE will want him to be recognised as 'WWE Champion' on September 9 in Edmonton.
