Islam Makhachev just cemented his place among MMA’s all-time greats. Inside Madison Square Garden, the former lightweight king put on a clinic — overwhelming Jack Della Maddalena for all five rounds to claim the welterweight title by unanimous decision (50-45 ×3). #UFC322 #IslamMakhachev #JackDellaMaddalena #IslamMakhachev #JackDellaMaddalena #UFC322
Makhachev (28-1) leaned on his signature grappling pressure from the opening bell, smothering Della Maddalena (27-2) with takedowns, control, and constant submission threats. Even in the rare striking exchanges, Makhachev neutralized JDM’s offense and kept the pace entirely on his terms.
With the win, Makhachev becomes the 11th two-division champion in UFC history — and ties Anderson Silva’s legendary record of 16 straight UFC victories. Already the lightweight GOAT in many fans’ eyes, Saturday night pushed him even deeper into the “all-time” conversation.
“This was the dream all my life,” Makhachev said. “No weight cut, I can fight five rounds easy. I made this look simple.”
JDM, making his first title defense, had no answers. Despite entering with an eight-fight UFC win streak, he struggled to create space or threaten on the feet, spending nearly the entire fight fighting off Makhachev’s pressure.
Makhachev didn’t call out a specific opponent afterward — but he did call his shot on location:
“Open the White House — I’m coming,” he said, signaling interest in a historic June card in Washington D.C.
