UFC 322 Della Maddalena vs Makhachev
UFC Set for Two Blockbuster Fights in New York City
The UFC is gearing up for an explosive pair of matchups in New York City, including a highly anticipated champion-versus-champion clash between welterweight titleholder Jack Della Maddalena and lightweight king Islam Makhachev.
Della Maddalena captured the welterweight crown at UFC 315 by defeating Belal Muhammad, and now he faces the daunting task of stopping Makhachev from joining the exclusive club of fighters holding belts in multiple weight classes.
For months, speculation has swirled about the Dagestani star moving up in weight to challenge for a second title, and that moment has finally arrived.
Before this headline fight, fans will also witness a blockbuster women’s flyweight showdown as Valentina Shevchenko defends her belt against former strawweight champion Zhang Weili.
Shevchenko comes off a decisive victory over Manon Fiorot at UFC 315, successfully defending her flyweight title for the first time since completing her trilogy with Alexa Grasso. Zhang, 36, has dominated the strawweight division since reclaiming the belt in November 2022, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle.
Adding to the excitement, UFC 321 will feature a rematch between Brazilian strawweights Virna Jandiroba and Mackenzie Dern for the now-vacant strawweight title.
UFC 321 is scheduled for October 25 in Abu Dhabi, while UFC 322 will take place on November 15 in New York City, promising fans two months packed with elite-level action.
