The UFC is entering the final two months of the ESPN deal and is trying to go out with a bang. UFC 322 is this weekend and features two title fights including a former champion moving up in weight to try and gain his second title in the UFC.

The UFC has had a few tough weeks from a brewing scandal to a disastrous UFC 321, but they march into UFC 322 with a great card on the books for this weekend. The card is headlined by former 155lb champion Islam Makhachev moving up in weight to try and take the 170lb crown off of Jack Della Maddalena. It would be another two-division champion on the UFC roll call if Makhachev can go out and take the title. We also get an absolute banger at Women's Flyweight in a matchup of Valentina Shevchenko and former 115lb champion Weili Zhang who is also looking to become a multiple division champion. These two cards alone are worth the price of entry, but there are a number of other matchups on the card which should make UFC 322 a memorable event.
