NEW YORK – Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev got a last look at each other Friday during ceremonial weigh-ins for their anticipated UFC 322 headliner.
Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) gets a tough task in his first welterweight title defense as he looks to spoil Makhachev’s (27-1 MMA, 16-1 UFC) bid at a second divisional belt and a 16th consecutive octagon win, which would tie Anderson Silva for the longest streak in company history.
