UFC 322: Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev (branded as VeChain UFC 322 for sponsorship reasons) is an ongoing mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship taking place on November 15, 2025, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, United States.[1]
Background
[edit]The event will mark the promotion's 12th visit to New York City and first since UFC 309 in November 2024.[1]
A UFC Welterweight Championship bout between current champion Jack Della Maddalena and former UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev is scheduled to headline the event.[2] Makhachev vacated his lightweight title in May in order to move up to welterweight.[3]
In addition, a UFC Women's Flyweight Championship bout between current two-time champion Valentina Shevchenko and current two-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Zhang Weili is scheduled to co-headline the event. Zhang vacated her strawweight title in order to challenge for the flyweight title.[4]
A bantamweight bout between Malcolm Wellmaker and Serhiy Sidey was scheduled for this event.[5] However, Sidey withdrew due to a shoulder injury and was replaced by Cody Haddon.[6][7] Two days before the event, Haddon also withdrew due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Ethyn Ewing. The bout was subsequently shifted to the featherweight division.[8]
At the weigh-ins, Beneil Dariush weighed in at 157.2 pounds, 1.2 pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit. The bout is expected to proceed at catchweight and he will be fined 20 percent of his purse, which will go to his opponent Benoît Saint Denis.[9]
