Summary
Islam Makhachev just shook up the sport at UFC 322 – From Makhachev’s statement win over Jack Della Maddalena at Madison Square Garden to the pound-for-pound debate and what it all means for the title picture.

The guys, along with @raylongoMMA and @brianpetrieMMA, dig into Arman Tsarukyan vs Dan Hooker, Belal Muhammad vs Ian Machado Garry, Oezdemir vs Menifield, Orolbai vs Hermansson and more. You’re getting matchup breakdowns, style clashes, and real betting talk tied into DraftKings and DK Sportsbook, including a dedicated “Place Your Bets” segment with $1K in action on the UFC Fight Night card.
