Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to pay-per-view (PPV) this Sat. night (Nov. 15, 2025) inside the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City, with the UFC 322 “Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev” mixed martial arts (MMA) event. As the name would suggest, UFC 322 is headlined by a mega Welterweight title fight pitting champion Jack Della Maddalena colliding with former Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, who is looking to become a two-division champion.
The UFC 322 co-main event pits another mega fight as defending Flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko puts her title on the line against former Strawweight champion Weili Zhang, who is also looking to become a two-division.
Two title fights, two chances to make history!!!
“I’m gonna go for a finish,” Maddalena said recently. “I would love it, obviously, that’d be the best case scenario to get the finish. I can see it happening, and I can see it blowing the roof off MSG taking out the pound-for-pound number one with no no doubts. A finish would be the dream.”
“I think it’s gonna start on the feet, and we’ll go from there,” Maddalena added. “But yeah, I think he’s gonna try and mix it up. I think he’s gonna probably try and get on the wrestling early, I’d imagine. Looking back on the Belal fight, he probably sees that Belal’s mistake was maybe not getting on the wrestling early. So yeah, I expect in the first round we’ll be getting to at least some grappling exchanges.”
