UFC 322 betting preview

Some consider Makhachev the greatest lightweight in UFC history, and for valid reasons. The 34-year-old is 27-1 throughout his career, including 16-1 in the UFC. He's won 15 straight fights, including four lightweight title defenses after winning the title by submitting Charles Oliveira in October 2022 at UFC 280. Makhachev's only loss came in 2015 via knockout in his second UFC fight, and he's won all his fights either by knockout, submission, or unanimous decision. Six of his last nine wins have come via submission, and he has +175 odds to win by submission on Saturday. He is the -298 favorite in the latest UFC 322 odds at DraftKings for UFC betting.

Della Maddalena isn't one to be underestimated, though, entering with an 18-2 record, including 9-0 in the UFC. The 29-year-old has won 18 straight fights since dropping his first two professional competitions, and he defeated Belal Muhammad by unanimous decision to win the welterweight title on May 10 at UFC 315. He is the +240 underdog to win the main event on Saturday.

Before Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev, Valentina Shevchenko defends her women's flyweight title against Zhang Weili. Shevchenko (25-4-1) was champion from December 2018 to early 2023 before losing to Alexa Grasso in March 2023 in the first match of their eventual trilogy. Shevchenko regained the title on Sept. 14, 2024, with a victory over Grasso, and then successfully defended her belt against Manon Fiorot at UFC 315. Shevchenko is 8-1 in title defenses over her career and is the -148 favorite to win on Saturday. Weili (26-3) has won five straight matches and vacated the strawweight title to move up to fight for the flyweight belt. Weili is the +124 underdog at DraftKings.
