In contrast, Della Maddalena boasts twelve knockout victories, showcasing his dangerous finishing ability inside the octagon.

Other than the pound-for-pound number one spot, Della Maddalena has a personal bone to pick with lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. He wants to avenge his fellow countryman Alexander Volkanovski’s two losses against the Dagestani and make a statement for his dominance. On top of that, as he mentioned, the division is currently filled with top contenders who are desperate for a title shot. 

Some top contenders like Joaquin Buckley, Sean Brady, and Ian Garry are eyeing title shots with strong performances and momentum. Della Maddalena hopes to raise his popularity and secure more lucrative fight deals that could transform his financial situation significantly. Still, his immediate challenge remains monumental—surviving and out-grinding the relentless wrestling pressure of the champion, Belal Muhammad.

The Palestinian-American fighter has claimed not to shoot for a single takedown and keep a striker like Jack Della Maddalena obey.

Yeah, I’m gonna knock him out. I’m gonna go in there and show that I’m the best boxer in the welterweight division and I’m gonna show my dominance again. …I think everything about me is underrated. People go in there and assume stuff, but when they get into the cage with me then they realize what it is. They realize what these hands do, they realize what this pressure does, and it breaks everybody.
