Jack Della Maddalena shocked many fans when he dethroned Belal Muhammad at UFC 315 in Montreal. The Australian fighter has been turning heads since joining the UFC, putting together an impressive 8-0 record inside the octagon. His journey to the top hasn&rsquo;t been easy, climbing through regional promotions in Australia before catching Dana White&rsquo;s eye on Contender Series in 2021.<\/p><p>Now wearing welterweight gold, Della Maddalena faces a unique challenge. Lightweight champion Islam Makhachev has vacated his 155-pound <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/mma\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC<\/a> title with ambitions of becoming a two-division champion, though not simultaneous. The Russian fighter, trained by Khabib Nurmagomedov&rsquo;s father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, has dominated opponents with his suffocating grappling and constantly improving striking. <strong>This potential champion vs champion matchup brings together two fighters at the peak of their powers, with contrasting styles that could make for an intriguing battle!<\/strong><\/p><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ufc-owners-tease-big-moves-ahead-eyeing-new-tv-deal-amid-multiple-talks-with-major-networks\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>UFC Owners Tease Big Moves Ahead, Eyeing New TV Deal Amid Multiple Talks With Major Networks!<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jack Della Maddalena Confident In Taking Out Islam Makhachev<\/h2><p>During Della Maddalena&rsquo;s appearance on <strong>The Ariel Helwani Show<\/strong>, he told the hpst about his plans for the upcoming challenge. The new welterweight champ doesn&rsquo;t share the grappling concerns that many have. He believes his striking advantage could be the difference maker against Makhachev.<\/p><p><strong><em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure people are just going to assume that Islam will just take me down and submit me pretty quickly.

Della Maddalena&rsquo;s striking against Muhammad showed precision rarely seen in welterweight title fights. His ability to stuff takedowns against a wrestling-heavy fighter like Muhammad also gives him reason for optimism.<\/p><p>The fight could represent a major shift in UFC matchmaking. Champion vs champion fights used to be rare special attractions, but they have become more common in recent years. This potential bout would be interesting because it features an established champion in Makhachev moving up to challenge a newly crowned champion. The UFC has historically favored strikers in their marketing, which might give Della Maddalena some promotional advantage despite Makhachev&rsquo;s longer reign as champion. Either way, fans win with this epic fight!<\/p><p><strong>(Image Credit: Eric Bolte &ndash; Imagn Images)<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riding high after his title win, Jack Della Maddalena sets sights on Islam Makhachev with bold claims and fearless energy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":53111,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1783],"tags":[1821,2565,6818],"class_list":["post-53096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mma","tag-islam-makhachev","tag-jack-della-maddalena","tag-jack-della-maddalena-vs-islam-makhachev"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&ldquo;I Can Take Him Out&rdquo;
