UFC 322: The Garden Trembles as Two-Division Dreams Collide Tonight

Madison Square Garden, New York – 4:25 PM local / 10:25 PM CET The lights are dimming, the crowd is swelling, and the octagon is locked. VeChain UFC 322 is LIVE TONIGHT, November 15, 2025, and the stakes have never been higher. Two vacant thrones, two former rulers, and one night to rewrite the history books.

MAIN EVENT: Welterweight Title – Islam Makhachev vs. Jack Della Maddalena

“The Dagestani Destroyer” vacates 155 to conquer 170. “JDM” defends his belt for the first time.

• Makhachev: 26-1 | 18-fight win streak | 5.2 takedowns per 15 min
• Della Maddalena: 17-2 | 12-fight win streak | 88% takedown defense

Prediction buzz on X:

“If JDM keeps it standing for 3 rounds, he sleeps Islam. If Islam gets top control… goodnight Australia.” – @MMA_Guru “Khabib in the corner. Enough said.” – @DagestanDaily

CO-MAIN: Women’s Flyweight Title – Valentina Shevchenko vs. Zhang Weili

Two-division supremacy on the line. The Bullet meets the Magnum.

• Shevchenko: 24-4 | 7-title defense streak at 125
• Zhang: 25-3 | Vacated strawweight belt for this shot

Weigh-in staredown moment: Zhang slapped the scale at 124.8 lbs and flexed both arms while staring through Shevchenko. Valentina didn’t blink—just smiled and mouthed “Welcome to my division.”

WEIGH-IN DRAMA: One Fighter Misses – Pays the Price

• Lightweight veteranMateusz Gamrot came in at 156.8 lbs — 0.8 over.
• Result: 20% purse fine → donated to opponent’s camp.

THE GARDEN’S LAST WORD

Conor McGregor once said MSG was “his house.” Tonight, two new landlords want the keys.

Will Makhachev plant the Dagestani flag at 170? Will Zhang become the first Chinese double-champ? Or will the Australian sniper and Kyrgyz queen remind the world why champions don’t vacate thrones—they defend them.

Doors open now. First fight in 35 minutes. The octagon is ready. Are you?
