Jack Della Maddalena believes that if it weren’t for his brother’s courage, he may have never pursued a career in mixed martial arts.
Today, JDM is sitting on top of the world while reigning over the UFC’s welterweight division. Della Maddalena scored a unanimous decision victory over Belal Muhammad in May to capture the 170-pound crown, setting the stage for a highly anticipated clash with former lightweight king Islam Makhachev.
With a perfect 8-0 record inside the Octagon and a world title wrapped around his waist, JDM is riding high, but he believes none of it would have been possible had his brother not stepped inside the cage first.
