In what is shaping up to be one of the greatest cards in the promotion\u2019s history, UFC 322 presents a duo of blockbuster championship fights featuring some of the most decorated title-holders in the entire sport. In the UFC 322 main event, newly-minted welterweight king Jack Della Maddalena seeks to defend his strap for the first time against lightweight legend Islam Makhachev. In the second to last fight of the night at UFC 322, women\u2019s flyweight phenom Valentina Shevchenko pits herself opposite former strawweight queen Zhang Weili, who recently vacated her throne in an effort to chase further greatness up a division.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

UFC 322 Main Event<\/p>\n

Winning the belt in glorious fashion after a five-round war with Belal Muhammad<\/a> at UFC 315, Della Maddalena<\/a> takes to the cage at Madison Square Garden as a bonafide star in mixed martial arts. Enlisting the services of other great combat sports icons like Alexander Volkanovski and Craig Jones, \u201cJDM\u201d is looking to record a fantastic upset in UFC 322 over the man many pundits are calling the best fighter on the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his reign as lightweight kingpin, Makhachev<\/a> solidified his place as the top competitor the division has ever produced, compiling four superb title defenses, the most of any 155-lb champion in the history of the UFC. Traveling to 170-lb for the first time in his career, the Russian is ready to tackle a whole new challenge in his goal to conquer another weight class during UFC 322\u2019s main event.

UFC 322 Co-Main Event<\/p>\n

Last seen in action earlier this year at UFC 315, Shevchenko<\/a> toppled the immensely-talented Manon Fiorot, handing the Frenchwoman her first loss in both the promotion, as well as her professional tenure. Now competing in the first real women\u2019s mixed martial arts superfight we\u2019ve seen in quite some time, \u201cBullet\u201d can add even more to her sterling legacy as the most distinguished flyweight champion ever by taking down the hard-punching Weili in UFC 322.<\/p>\n

Asserting her dominance over the 115-lb class over the past three years, Weili<\/a> has proven to be a nearly-unstoppable force in female MMA, dusting all challengers who have tried to take away her strap like Amanda Lemos, Yan Xiaonan and Tatiana Suarez. Taking the most important contest of her life against the otherworldly Shevchenko, \u201cMagnum\u201d will now attempt to become only the second woman to win a championship in two different weight categories other than Amanda Nunes.
