Arman Tsarukyan expected the UFC 322 headliner to be a more competitive affair than it was.
Islam Makhachev challenged Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight title in the main event at UFC 322 last weekend at Madison Square Garden in New York. While Makhachev was a sizeable favorite, the odds didn’t reflect the domination that the former lightweight champ imposed.
Makhachev (28-1) targeted Maddalena’s (18-3) lead leg, which neutralized any striking threat from the Australian in the latter rounds. Makhachev also took Maddalena down with ease and controlled him for 19 minutes to earn a lopsided decision victory.
