Get ready for an explosive night of MMA action! UFC 322: JDM vs. Islam is set to ignite Madison Square Garden, pitting two dominant champions against each other in a battle for supremacy.
But first, let's delve into the main event: Jack 'JDM' Della Maddalena, the reigning UFC welterweight king, is on a mission to halt Islam Makhachev's ascent to greatness. With an astonishing 18 consecutive wins, JDM aims to shatter Makhachev's dreams of becoming a two-weight champion. But here's where it gets controversial: Makhachev, the former lightweight champ, has his own streak of 15 straight victories. Who will prevail in this clash of the titans?
In the co-main event, another intriguing matchup awaits. Former strawweight champion Zhang Weili aims to emulate Makhachev's ambition by challenging flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko. Can Weili make history and become a two-division champion, or will Shevchenko's reign continue?
