The UFC are heading to MSG, New York for ufc322. Here’s my card builder Main event Jack Della Maddalena🇦🇺 vs Islam makhachev🇷🇺 It’s confirmed just not been announced. Islam going for double champ, one of his toughest tests to date in his 170 debut. Can JDM cause an upset? Co main event Alexandre Pantoja🇧🇷 vs Joshua Van🇺🇸🇲🇲 We know this is happening next. Either at 322 or 323. It’s a banger fight. Can Pantoja defend the belt for the 5th time or will Josh Van become the 2nd youngest ufc champ and the first Asian champ? Featured bout Jan Blachowicz🇵🇱 vs Volkan oezdemir🇨🇭🇸🇪 Both Jan and Volkan have agreed to fight each other. 2 European power houses, it won’t happen at Paris so maybe we can get it on a ppv. Main card bout Josh Emmett🇺🇸 vs Youssef zalal🇲🇦 🇺🇸 Seems like this fight is being made with Josh finally accepting it. Interesting one at 45. Can zalal avoid the power and use his all round skills mixing it up and beating Josh, or will Josh land the death touch? Main card opener Amir Albazi🇮🇶🇸🇪 vs Tatsuro taira🇯🇵 Taira said he wanted to fight on the same card as the 125 title fight. Rebook this and instead make royval Moreno 3. This is a good fight, if taira wins he’s next for the title shot. Featured prelim Payton talbott🇺🇸 vs Adrian Yanez🇺🇸 Payton has called for this fight for a long time. He called him out after his win vs Lima. It’s the fight to make, a Payton win puts him in a spot for the rankings next. Featured prelim on a big ppv. Perfect. Prelim Matt frevola🇺🇸 vs MarQuel mederos🇺🇸 This is the fight to make. It’s a banger as well. Frevola will have been out for over a year after his ko loss to Ziam. Our boy MarQuel is 3-0 coming off a career best win in dominating fashion at 316. He wants the fight so the ufc should make it. Prelim Irene Aldana🇲🇽 vs Ailin Perez🇦🇷 Ailin has got a good win streak and despite all the outside octagon things she’s a legit good fighter with great wrestling and people tune in to watch her even if it isn’t for fight reasons only, she’s got a big name. A win here puts her in line for a title eliminator. A win for Aldana puts her in a decent spot as well. Prelim Malcolm wellmaker🇺🇸 vs Bernardo sopaj🇸🇪🇬🇷🇦🇱 A banger at 35. Sopaj will be able to use his left hand in about a week. He’ll probably be back in camp in September so it makes sense. Wellmaker has only fought cans realistically meanwhile sopaj has fought 1 decent guy in turcios and Vinicius Oliveira who he was competitive with. It’s a close fight and would be very fun. Prelim Islam dulatov🇩🇪🇷🇺 vs Austen vanderford🇺🇸 Dulatov is a new star. Big name and lots of hype. Dulatov is a lethal finisher with very strong stand up. Vanderford is a decent fighter who’s pretty well rounded and could be a tough test for dulatov. Early Prelim Torrez finney🇺🇸 vs Ryan loder🇺🇸 2 wrestlers, finney shouldn’t be able to just lay on loder due to loder being an actual good wrestler. One is a bekoev victim, the other one ran from bekoev. Let’s give finney an actual stylistically tough matchup so he has to do damage. Early prelim Hyun sung park🇰🇷 vs Felipe Bunes🇧🇷 Both guys lost this weekend. Park should keep building and get 2 more before testing himself vs ranked competition. Bunes is a can and old. Should be easy for park. Early prelim Austen lane🇺🇸 vs Alvin Hines🇺🇸 One is an absolute can who is somehow still in the ufc. The other is an actual decent heavyweight who lost his debut that was on short notice vs a good opponent and it was competitive. Hines should get through this one easily.
