No Bets Barred: UFC 322, Islam Makhachev's Champ-Champ Aspirations, And The Greatest Women's Fight Of All Time

The best pay-per-view event of 2025 is upon us. This Saturday, UFC 322 goes down at Madison Square Garden in New York City, featuring a promotional first: two champions moving up to challenge for a second title. In the main event, Islam Makhachev moves up to 170 pounds to battle Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight title, and in the co-main event, Zhang Weili jumps to 125 pounds to challenge Valentina Shevchenko for the women's flyweight belt. And No Bets Barred is here to break it all down. This week, host Jed Meshew is joined by Morning Kombat's Luke Noseda AKA Long Island Luke to take a look at all things UFC 322. Topics discussed include Makhachev's chances at winning a second title, whether Shevchenko vs. Zhang is the greatest women's fight in MMA history, a stacked main card featuring an ersatz welterweight tournament, the rock-solid prelim action, the next steps of The Climb, and more.
