Islam Makhachev recently shared his thoughts on Jack Della Maddalena’s underwhelming performance against him. JDM’ lost his welterweight title to Makhachev at UFC 322.
The bout was a one-sided affair, and the 34-year-old made it look easy by securing a total control time of more than 19 minutes.
Della Maddalena’s reach and superior striking were neutralized, and the Australian was taken down for the first time in the second minute of the first frame. The following rounds followed a similar pattern, and although Della Maddalena did enough to avoid being submitted by the Russian fighter, he offered no offensive threat.
