Confidence separates champions from pretenders in mixed martial arts. A fighter can have all the skills in the world, but without belief, they will crumble under pressure. Jack Della Maddalena has never lacked confidence throughout his fighting career. The Australian striker shocked the MMA world by upsetting Belal Muhammad to capture the welterweight championship back in May. That victory proved Della Maddalena could handle elite wrestlers and grapplers despite being primarily known for his devastating striking. Now he faces an even bigger test in Islam Makhachev, the former lightweight champion moving up to chase two-division glory at Madison Square Garden on November 15.<\/p>

Most analysts and fans favor Makhachev in this matchup given his championship pedigree and dominant grappling skills. But Jack Della Maddalena isn’t backing down from anyone’s expectations or predictions. <\/p>

Jack Della Maddalena Believes He Will Take Makhachev’s Pound-For-Pound Ranking<\/h2>

Speaking on UFC Countdown, Jack Della Maddalena made a vow to ‘break’ Islam Makhachev at UFC<\/a> 322 while making bold statements about his legacy and future in the sport. <\/p>

“I’m gonna break Islam Makhachev, take his P4P spot, and it’s gonna be a great moment for my career and my legacy.” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>
