The lineup continues to grow for UFC 322 on Nov. 15, which marks the promotion’s annual stop in New York City.
The event from Madison Square Garden (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) is headlined by two championship fights. Tuesday, UFC officials formally announced a pair of new matchups in the middleweight division for “The Big Apple.”
Top MMA prospect Bo Nickal (7-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) will make his return to the octagon after suffering his first defeat to Reinier de Ridder in May when he takes on Rodolfo Vieira (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC), who is riding high off a unanimous decision over Tresean Gore in August.
In other action, Roman Kopylov (14-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) looks to shake off a loss to Paulo Costa in July against fellow knockout specialist Gregory Rodrigues (17-6 MMA, 8-3 UFC), who viciously finished Jack Hermansson in a Knockout of the Year contender in June.
The latest UFC 322 lineup now includes:
- Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev – for welterweight title
- Valentina Shevchenko vs. Zhang Weili – for women’s flyweight title
- Leon Edwards vs. Carlos Prates
- Erin Blanchfield vs. Tracy Cortez
- Eric McConico vs. Baisangur Susurkaev
- Fatima Kline vs. Angela Hill
- Kyle Daukaus vs. Gerald Meerschaert
- Bo Nickal vs. Rodolfo Vieira
