A battle of giants in New York: Maddalena and Makhachev will clash in the octagon at UFC 322.
Islam Makhachev faces a significant challenge as he seeks to cement his legacy. Having relinquished his lightweight title after four successful defenses, the Dagestani fighter has decided to test his mettle at welterweight with the goal of capturing championships in two weight classes. With an impressive record of 27 wins and only one loss, Makhachev is on a 15-fight winning streak. His exceptional wrestling and striking prowess, developed under the tutelage of Javier Mendez and Khabib Nurmagomedov, have made him one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. The move up a weight class was partially necessitated by a champion change: he did not want to face teammate Belal Muhammad, but a win over Jack Della Maddalena paved the way for this exciting fight.
Jack Della Maddalena represents a new generation of welterweights. With a record of 18-2, the Australian is riding an impressive 18-fight win streak. He won the title in a thrilling showdown with Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 and is now preparing for his first and perhaps most significant title defense. Maddalena is renowned for his high-class boxing, ability to apply pressure, and accurate striking. He is so confident in his abilities that he stated that Makhachev's striking will not pose a greater challenge than Muhammad's style.
This fight is a classic clash of styles: Makhachev's supreme grappling against Maddalena's world-class boxing. Will the Australian be able to maintain the fight on his feet and capitalize on his striking advantage, or will the Russian athlete take the fight to his own territory and secure another stoppage victory? Bookmakers have Makhachev as the favorite, but experts, including Khabib Nurmagomedov, are calling Maddalena Islam's most dangerous opponent. UFC 322 promises to be one of the most spectacular events of the year. In addition to the main event, viewers can expect another championship bout: Valentina Shevchenko will defend her flyweight title against Weili Zhan, who is moving up from strawweight for a historic opportunity. Former welterweight champion Leon Edwards will also return to the arena to face Carlos Prates.
