The best pay-per-view event of 2025 is upon us.<\/p>\n
This Saturday, UFC 322 goes down at Madison Square Garden in New York City, featuring a promotional first: two champions moving up to challenge for a second title.<\/p>\n
In the main event, Islam Makhachev moves up to 170 pounds to battle Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight title, and in the co-main event, Zhang Weili jumps to 125 pounds to challenge Valentina Shevchenko for the women\u2019s flyweight belt. And No Bets Barred is here to break it all down.<\/p>\n
This week, host Jed Meshew is joined by Morning Kombat\u2019s Luke Noseda, AKA Long Island Luke, to take a look at all things UFC 322. Topics discussed include Makhachev\u2019s chances at winning a second title, whether Shevchenko vs. Zhang is the greatest women\u2019s fight in MMA history, a stacked main card featuring an ersatz welterweight tournament, the rock-solid prelim action, the next steps of The Climb, and more.<\/p>\n
