Islam Makhachev is flying high after a dominant performance at UFC 322 that saw him blank Jack Della Maddalena on the scorecard to secure the UFC welterweight title. Makhachev is now a two division champion and expects to retake his position as No.

Ko (13-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) had a dominant scorecard sweep of Rowe (11-6 MMA, 4-4 UFC) on the prelims at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Afterward, he said the fight went just the way it was drawn up by him and his team.

The Rochester native’s dominance has been largely unmatched, with only one fighter ever beating him on a judge’s scorecard. That came in 2019, when Jones defeated Thiago Santos via split decision.

Khabib Nurmagomedov insisted on putting Islam Makhachev's latest title belt over his friend's shoulders after his UFC 322 win. It was the most damage the dominant welterweight champ incurred all night.

In the UFC 321 co-main event Saturday, Dern (16-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC) defeated Virna Jandiroba by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46) to claim ownership to the vacant 115-pound title. The bout took place at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
