BREAKING: UFC President Dana White has just revealed thrilling details about the upcoming UFC 322 main event featuring Islam Makhachev and Jack Della Maddalena. Scheduled for October 2023, this matchup is generating intense excitement as both fighters enter the octagon with remarkable win streaks—Makhachev with 15 consecutive victories and Della Maddalena boasting an incredible 18-fight win streak.
Speaking exclusively to TMZ Sports, White emphasized the significance of this clash. “Jack bursts onto the scene, coming off the Contender Series, and just defeated Belal Muhammad, which is not easy to do,” he stated. Della Maddalena’s last defeat dates back to May 2016, while Makhachev hasn’t lost since October 2015 at UFC 192.
Despite Della Maddalena’s impressive rise, many fans and experts remain skeptical about his chances against Makhachev, who is currently ranked as the sport’s top pound-for-pound fighter. When asked if he felt Della Maddalena was being disrespected, White remarked, “All these questions get answered on Saturday, and that’s the beauty of fighting.”
But the excitement doesn’t stop at the main event. White also previewed the highly anticipated co-main event featuring Valentina Shevchenko and Weili Zhang, promising fans an unforgettable night of fights.
In addition to the matchups, White hinted at a historic event planned at the White House, discussing the challenges of organizing such a significant occasion. When asked about Francis Ngannou‘s claim that a potential fight with Jon Jones would be the biggest in the world, White promptly dismissed the notion, leaving fans eager for more insights.
