Last thoughts about Zhang Weili vs. Valentina Shevchenko on UFC 322
UFC flagship events are always special nights of action in the Octagon, but when the promotion touches every fall in New York City, it is even more incredible. Just like the annual Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, Ca, when the calendar runs to January 1, UFC events in Madison Square Garden are the grandfather in themselves.
It has been the case since the New York State MMA legalized in 2016. The MSG shows are the version of the UFC of the Rose Bowl. UFC 322 will be no exception.
This fight is a late competition for the best scrap of the year in 2025. Two hunters with flawless CVs will throw down in November.
