UFC 322 was easily one of the best MMA cards of the year. It might have even been the best, flat out.
NEW YORK – UFC 322 took place Saturday at Madison Square Garden, and you can watch a replay video of the post-event news conference here on MMA Junkie.
Islam Makhachev became the 11th UFC fighter to win championships in two divisions. Here are all of the results and best highlights from UFC 322.
The bonuses at Madison Square Garden in New York went to fighters who fought in four consecutive bouts – and had four consecutive KOs.
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.
Live from the world’s most famous arena, it’s UFC 322. Perhaps the best card of the year, the UFC returns to Madison Square Garden for 14 fights, all of which have massive implications. Two title fights, loads of contenders, and a few prospects are sprinkled in. Half of the fights on the card are expected to end inside the distance.
The UFC has made its annual fall pilgrimage to the mecca of the combat sports world with a pair of title fights at the top of the card. UFC 322 (pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+/FX, ESPN+) takes place Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.
