Islam Makhachev at UFC <\/a>322, in Madison Square Garden, made history by defeating welterweight champion Jack Della Maddalena in a five-round masterclass. The Dagestani star, fresh of his lightweight reign, targeted double-champ status for a long time and he’s finally achieved what he set out to do. <\/p>

From the opening seconds, Makhachev took Della Maddalena down and smothered him with relentless ground control. His elite wrestling neutralized JDM’s striking power, as he advanced to mount and threatened submissions. Della Maddalena, who’s known for his knockout artistry, couldn’t escape the suffocating pressure. <\/p>

Judges scored it 50-45 for Makhachev, crowning his the 11th two-division UFC champion. This win cements his legacy, proving that he is one of the best UFC fighters of all time. <\/p>
