Even though his professional MMA career started out with two consecutive losses, Della Maddalena rapidly rose through the ranks, winning the next 18 fights.

Rattling off highlight-reel-level finishes over opponents like Pete Rodriguez, Ramazan Emeev, Danny Roberts, and Randy Brown, he quickly became one of the welterweights to beat. He passes more than just the eye test. Della Maddalena\u2019s numbers are also out of this world as the Aussie machine <\/span><b>boasts a 78% finishing rate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Over time, Della Maddalena has greatly improved as a fighter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, displaying resilience in gut out fights like the SD wins over Bassil Hafez and Kevin Holland. Furthermore, he KO\u2019d Gilbert Burns and dethroned Belal Muhammad via UD to get the welterweight title and the title of \u201cJDM\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stylistically, the Aussie is a pressure fighter \u2013 sharp with his punches and ruthless in body attacks. Capable of switching stances on demand, JDM will seek to catch Islam Makhachev off-guard in what <\/span><b>will definitely be his toughest fight yet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

From 2016 onward (after his 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and only loss), <\/span><b>Islam has been tearing through anyone who has dared to challenge him<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

He seems ready for it as fans and experts both noticed how much more often Makhachev was dropping his opponents with punches and kicks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Labelled as a very disciplined, well-rounded fighter, <\/span><b>he\u2019s a favourite in the books<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, it\u2019s a new challenge, and we can\u2019t know how well the Dagestani will adapt to opponents that are physically bigger than the ones he\u2019s used to fighting until the UFC 322 starts. Let\u2019s see if Makhachev can join the exclusive club of fighters who have conquered 2 divisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Islam Makhachev \u2013 Last 5 Fights<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Opponent<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Date<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Result<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Renato Moicano<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">January 18 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Win (Submission)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Dustin Poirier<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">June 1 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Win (Submission)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Alexander Volkanovski<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">October 21 2023<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Win (KO)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Alexander Volkanovski<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">February 12 2023<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Win (UD)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Charles Oliveira<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">October 22 2022<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Win (Submission)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Tale of the Tape<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Attribute<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Jack Della Maddalena<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><strong>Islam Makhachev<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Age (fight week)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>29<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (born September 10 1996)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">34 (born October 27 1991)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Height<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>5\u201911\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (180 cm)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>5\u201910\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (178 cm)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Reach<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>73\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (185 cm)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>70\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (178 cm)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Professional Record<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>18\u20132<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>27\u20131<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">UFC Debut<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>January 22, 2022<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 TKO win vs Pete Rodriguez (UFC 270)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>May 23, 2015<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Sub win vs Leo Kuntz (UFC 187)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Titles\/Status<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>UFC Welterweight Champion,<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>#8 in UFC P4P<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Former UFC Lightweight Champion, #2 in UFC P4P<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Key Factors to Watch<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan on betting on UFC 322 \u2013 Della Maddalena vs Makhachev, you should know about the key factors to watch in the bout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Physical Matchups<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Della Maddalena enjoys advantages in youth, height and reach, as well as superior hand speed. The current champ is comfortable in the pocket, but his takedown defence must be A++, if he even wants to stand a chance for the whole 5 rounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>If the Actions Go to the Ground<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, it\u2019s likely over for Della Maddalena. Makhachev is the best wrestler he has faced, and by a wide margin. The challenger will likely try to pressure and mess up JDM\u2019s rhythm. However, if Makhachev gets too complacent, a deadly blow could end things for him just like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How to Watch UFC 322: Della Maddalena vs Makhachev in the UK?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For UK fans who want to watch it live, it\u2019s time to prepare for an early morning. The main card is available as a PPV in TNT Sports Box Office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also watch the event via discovery+, Sky, EE TV, Virgin Media, and Prime Video. The main event is expected to start no earlier than 4.30 AM BST on Sunday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Who Did Islam Makhachev Lose to?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only blemish on Islam\u2019s UFC career is his defeat against Adriano Martins at UFC 192 on October 3 2015. The bout ended via first-round KO (1:46), after Martins caught Islam with a vicious right hand.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Will Islam Fight Ilia Topuria at the UFC White House Event?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this potential fight would be a massive draw and possibly even the Main or Co-Main event of the night, there\u2019s no official agreement yet. Makhachev and Topuria have both voiced interest in the June 14, 2026, event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>How Much Will the Fighters Make From This Fight? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the UFC doesn\u2019t publicly disclose its numbers, champions and top contenders typically earn a base purse + PPV points. One reference showed that Makhachev probably got over $1,000,000 for his UFC 311 showing. Expect similar, or even higher figures this time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #18ae62;\"><em><strong>Betting is only available to participants above 18 years. Please bet responsibly.
