MMA Main Card Pick of the Week: UFC 322
UFC 322: Della Maddalena vs Machachev
Main Card Start Time: 10:00 PM EST – (PPV)
The yearly MSG show is always one of the UFC’s biggest, but this year’s card is quite unique, as two fighters who recently vacated their championships to move up a weight class are challenging for titles in the top two matches on the evening. My main card pick comes from the co-main event, where former women’s strawweight champ Zhang Weili challenges current UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko.
As is most often the case in title fights like this, you go with the fighter who has the most experience fighting at the contested weight class (aka – the bigger fighter). The champion Shevchenko is taller, longer, and should be thicker and stronger than Zhang. Plus, Shevchenko is solid in all aspects of the sport, and while she isn’t always the most exciting, she fights smart and stays safe.
