Summary

UFC 322 is officially in the books, and in the main event, Islam Makhachev captured the welterweight championship with a one-sided performance against Jack Della Maddalena. Makhachev certainly has options, and while Kamaru Usman has continuously put his name in the hat, will the UFC go that direction, or allow the exciting, new blood of the division get their chance? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Makhachev and #JDM after their headliner at Madison Square Garden. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Valentina Shevchenko and Zhang Weili after the women's flyweight champ's successful title defense in the co-main event, Michael Morales following his first-round knockout of Sean Brady, Carlos Prates after stopping former champ Leon Edwards, along with fellow main card winner Benoit Saint Denis, and more, along with listener picks.
