At UFC 322 inside Madison Square Garden, Islam Makhachev delivered a commanding performance to defeat Jack Della Maddalena and claim the welterweight championship, becoming a rare two-division UFC titleholder. Already a decorated lightweight champion, Makhachev showcased his trademark wrestling-heavy style, earning a unanimous decision victory with all judges scoring the bout 50-45. In his post-fight recap, Makhachev emphasized that his approach is no secret—his relentless grappling and control are strategies he believes would work against any fighter. The win not only crowned him a double champion but also tied him with Anderson Silva for the longest win streak in UFC history at 16 consecutive victories
