A high-stakes clash between two formidable UFC fighters is now official.
The highly anticipated bout between UFC welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena and former lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has been officially confirmed. This significant event is scheduled for November 16, 2025, in New York, as part of UFC 322.
It`s worth recalling that Makhachev previously made the strategic decision to vacate his lightweight championship belt and move up to the welterweight division. Following this, a title fight for the vacant lightweight belt took place between Topuria and Oliveira, with Ilya emerging victorious and claiming the title.
