The rest of the card is stacked with plenty of intriguing fights, but a scheduled prelim bout<\/a> between Cody Haddon and Malcolm Wellmaker did undergo a major change the night before weigh-ins when Haddon was forced off UFC 322 due to injury. <\/p>\n Ethyn Ewing Set For UFC Debut At Madison Square Garden<\/p>\n First reported by Marcel Dorff<\/a>, Ewing steps in to replace Haddon for a massive opportunity in his short-notice UFC debut. <\/p>\n READ MORE: Jon Jones releases impassioned promo video pleading for UFC White House fight<\/a><\/p>\n Like UFC 322 headliner Della Maddalena, Ewing\u2019s pro career got off to an inauspicious start when he dropped his first two bouts in 2020 and 2022. Those results came after a perfect 6-0 amateur career, and in early 2023 he returned to action and scored a 15-second finish to mark his first pro victory. <\/p>\n The 27-year-old has been perfect since then, winning eight-straight fights and stopping all but one of his opponents during that span. Ewing was in action last weekend in the main event of Urijah Faber\u2019s A1 Combat 32, where he knocked out Billy Brand (who lost to Haddon on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series last year) in the first round to win the promotion\u2019s interim bantamweight belt. <\/p>\n Malcolm Wellmaker Looks To Extend KO Streak At UFC 322<\/p>\n Making an astonishingly quick turnaround for his Octagon debut, Ewing will be fighting up a weight class at UFC 322 when he takes on the undefeated Wellmaker. <\/p>\n READ MORE: UFC star absolutely torches idea of “Hunger Games” fight at The White House<\/a><\/p>\n A contract winner on Dana White\u2019s Contender Series last year, Wellmaker has already established himself as a featherweight talent worth watching after just two UFC appearances. \u201cThe Machine\u201d debuted with a first-round knockout of Cameron Saaiman <\/a>in April before he also finished Kris Moutinho in the opening frame in June, earning himself \u201cPerformance of the Night\u201d bonuses for both of those victories. <\/p>\n Malcolm Wellmaker (red gloves) reacts after defeating Cameron Saaiman (blue gloves) during UFC Fight Night at T-Mobile Center. | William Purnell-Imagn Images<\/p>\n With Ewing stepping in to replace Haddon, UFC 322 remains at full capacity with 14 scheduled fights<\/a> set to take place at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. <\/p>\n UFC 322 Main Card<\/p>\n \u2022 Main Event: Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev \u2013 For the UFC Welterweight Championship<\/p>\n \u2022 Co-Main Event: Valentina Shevchenko vs. Weili Zhang \u2013 For the UFC Women\u2019s Flyweight Championship<\/p>\n \u2022 Sean Brady vs. Michael Morales<\/p>\n \u2022 Leon Edwards vs. Carlos Prates<\/p>\n \u2022 Beneil Dariush vs. Benoit Saint-Denis<\/p>\n UFC 322 Preliminary Card<\/p>\n \u2022 Bo Nickal vs. Rodolfo Vieira<\/p>\n \u2022 Roman Kopylov vs. Gregory Rodrigues<\/p>\n \u2022 Erin Blanchfield vs. Tracy Cortez<\/p>\n \u2022 Malcolm Wellmaker vs. Ethyn Ewing<\/p>\n UFC 322 Early Preliminary Card<\/p>\n \u2022 Gerald Meerschaert vs. Kyle Daukaus<\/p>\n \u2022 Chepe Mariscal vs. Pat Sabatini<\/p>\n \u2022 Angela Hill vs. Fatima Kline<\/p>\n \u2022 Baisangur Susurkaev vs. Eric McConico<\/p>\n \u2022 Viacheslav Borshchev vs. Matheus Camilo<\/p>\n More MMA Knockout News<\/p>\n \u2022 Alex Pereira travels to iconic location for latest Jon Jones UFC White House callout<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 Tracy Cortez targets title shot with \u201cstatement\u201d win vs. Erin Blanchfield at UFC 322<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 UFC axes several veteran fighters, including TUF winner and heavyweight fan favorite<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022 UFC legend brutally knocks out reality TV star in boxing debut<\/a><\/p>\n Stick with MMAKnockout<\/a> for more FREE coverage of the UFC and MMA.<\/p>\n Follow MMAKnockout on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Malcolm](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/01ka1hyz1je0t3aw455a.jpg\" "\\"Malcolm")
