Two Champions, One Night
UFC 322 delivers a rare spectacle: two world title fights on a single card headlined by one of the boldest moves in recent MMA history.
In the main event, pound-for-pound superstar Islam Makhachev makes daring jump to welterweight to challenge the division’s reigning champion, Jack Della Maddalena. Makhachev’s world-class grappling and championship mentality meet Della Maddalena’s knockout power in a bout that could reshape the welterweight landscape.
The co-main event sees flyweight great Valentina Shevchenko defend her belt against former strawweight champion Zhang Weili in a champion-versus-champion showdown. Shevchenko’s technical precision faces Zhang’s powerful finishing ability in one of the most compelling women’s fights of the year.
The Main Card also features elite matchups including Sean Brady vs Michael Morales and Leon Edwards vs Carlos Prates, stacking the night with world-class talent from beginning to end.
