Islam Makhachev, Zhang Weili Chase History
UFC 322 is a huge card, not because it is headlined by a pair of title fights, but because it will see champions from lower weight classes who vacated their belts to try and make history. In the main event, dominant lightweight champion Islam Makhachev moves up to welterweight to face division king Jack Della Maddalena in his first title defense.
In the co-main event, strawweight great Zhang Weili moves up to flyweight to face future Hall of Famer Valentina Schevchenko. A win for Makhachev would make him the 11th UFC fighter to win titles in two divisions. Zhang would be the 11th or 12th to achieve the feat. However, she would be just the second woman after Amanda Nunes joined the two-belt club in 2018.
Must-Win Fight For Leon Edwards
Two years ago, Leon Edwards seemed on a course to go down as one of the best welterweights ever. He went unbeaten in 13 straight inside the Octagon and had a pair of wins over division legend Kamaru Usman. However, he is now on the verge of a stunning losing skid.
His unbeaten streak was ended last year in a one-sided, unanimous decision loss to Belal Muhammad. That was followed by a submission defeat to Sean Brady. At UFC 322, he is an underdog to Carlos Prates, who lost his first fight in the Octagon in April. If the 34-year-old ever wants to fight for gold again, he must win this bout. Otherwise, his championship window will be slammed shut forever on Saturday.
Michael Morales: The Next Big Thing?
To diehard UFC fans, they know how good 26-year-old welterweight Michael Morales is. However, Saturday night could be when a larger audience finds out how nasty he is. On the main card of UFC 322, the Ecuadorian gets his toughest test yet when he takes on top contender Sean Brady.
The American has some big wins on his resume, including over former champ Leon Edwards. However, he is just a small favorite over the fighter with 13 knockouts in his 18 wins. If Morales can score a victory, especially another KO, it could establish him as the next big thing not only at 170 pounds, but in the company in general.
Could Bo Nickal Quit MMA After UFC 322?
Bo Nickal has been one of the most hyped prospects in MMA this decade. That’s what comes with being one of the greatest wrestlers in Penn State history, and starting his fight career 7-0. After a fast start, he talked a big game and was name-dropping some elite talent for potential fights. Then he bit off way more than he could chew in May and was dispatched in two rounds by former ONE two-division champ Reinier de Ridder.
Nickal is taking a step down in competition at UFC 322 and is a solid favorite against Rodolfo Vieira. However, if he were to come up short against the crafty grappler on Saturday, the hype train will be fully derailed. It will then be interesting to see if he is willing to work his way back up after two straight losses or quits MMA altogether.
