The UFC has officially confirmed a blockbuster welterweight title showdown between champion Jack Della Maddalena and former lightweight king Islam Makhachev as the main event of UFC 322. The fight is set for November 15, 2025, at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Jack Della Maddalena captured the welterweight crown at UFC 315 in May by defeating Belal Muhammad via unanimous decision.
Islam Makhachev, the dominant lightweight champion, vacated his 155-lb title after a fourth successful defense, choosing to move up to welterweight for a shot at becoming a two-division UFC champion.
What else is on the card?
In addition to the main event, the co-main attraction features a second champion-vs.-champion bout: Valentina Shevchenko will face Zhang Weili in a women’s flyweight title clash.
All signs point to UFC 322 being one of the biggest pay-per-view cards of the year—a true clash of champions designed to deliver fireworks at one of the sport’s most legendary venues.
Who Do You Think Will Win
Islam Makhachev:
Dominant wrestling and grappling, with suffocating top control.
Excellent fight IQ and experience in championship-level fights.
Already proven as one of the most well-rounded fighters at lightweight.
Jack Della Maddalena:
One of the cleanest and most dangerous boxers in the UFC right now.
Has sharp counter-punching, great timing, and power that can finish fights quickly.
Now champion at welterweight, so he’ll be the naturally bigger man.
How it matches up:
If the fight stays standing, Della Maddalena has the edge — his boxing could catch Makhachev coming in.
If Makhachev is able to implement his wrestling and avoid the big shots, he’s likely to control the fight on the ground.
Honestly, it feels like a 50/50 type matchup:
Makhachev wins if he can drag it into deep waters with wrestling.
Della Maddalena wins if he keeps it on the feet and lands clean.
Definitely a fight worth watching.
