Jack Della Maddalena oozes confidence ahead of UFC 322

“I see this going similarly to the Belal fight,” Della Maddalena said on UFC 322 Countdown. “Islam will try more for takedowns, but ultimately, I will be able to get back to my feet every round and really be able to sting him on the feet, damage him. Break him and then take him out. It would be the dream to get the finish in MSG, blow the roof off the place. Cement myself as one of the great welterweights.”

Although Jack Della Maddalena is the underdog, he expects the size to be the difference maker in his title fight against Makhachev.

“My advantage is I’m a better mixed martial artist than him. I’m going to break Islam Makhachev. I’m going to take his pound-for-pound spot, it’s going to be a great moment for my career and my legacy,” Della Maddalena added.
