UFC 322 is in the books as the promotion returned for their annual trip to Madison Square Garden in New York City. After fireworks ensued in the first three main card fights, Islam Makhachev and Valentina Shevchenko used pure and utter dominance over five rounds to leave the World\u2019s Most Famous Arena as champions \u2014 with Makhachev adding a second divisional crown to his r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Following Saturday\u2019s pay-per-view event, MMA Fighting\u2019s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the card, Makhachev\u2019s one-sided win over Jack Della Maddalena in the main event to win the welterweight title, if Kamaru Usman should be next for the new champ, and more. Additionally, they discuss Shevchenko shutting out Zhang Weili to retain the women\u2019s flyweight title, the incredible stretch of stoppages from Bo Nickal, Benoit Saint Denis, Carlos Prates, and Michael Morales, the preliminary fighters who stole the show, plus, listener questions.<\/p>\n
