UFC 322, headlined by Jack Della Maddalena defending his welterweight title against Islam Makhachev and Zhang Weili taking a run at a second belt against Valentina Shevchenko, is shaping up to be one of the most lucrative cards of the year.

Officially speaking, Islam Makhachev and Zhang Weili no longer reign as titleholders in their respective weight classes.

In the main event, Islam Makhachev will make a long-awaited jump to 170 pounds, where he will challenge welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena. A victory for Makhachev would tie Anderson Silva’s record with 16 consecutive UFC wins and become the latest fighter to win belts in multiple divisions, having previously held the lightweight title.

Zhang Weili is entering an ultra-important women’s superfight against Valentina Shevchenko later tonight (Sat., Nov. 15, 2025) at UFC 322 LIVE on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Madison Square Garden in New York City,
