Jack Della Maddalena wants to regain the UFC welterweight championship. To secure a title shot, the former UFC champion wants to fight the undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov.
JDM’ lost his welterweight strap to Islam Makhachev at UFC 322. The Australian had no answer to Makhachev’s ground game, and despite being the better fighter on the feet, he was unable to use it as an advantage against the Russian phenom.
In a recent interview with N3on, ‘JDM’ was asked his views on him fighting Rakhmonov down the line. Della Maddalena seconded the idea, as he believes that beating ‘Nomad’ can help him get another shot at Makhachev.
