Thus far during his Ultimate Fighting Championship tenure, Jack Della Maddalena has shown a knack for putting opponents away in short order.
’s four-fight winning streak with a submission victory 2:13 into Round 1. All four of the Perth native’s promotional triumphs have ended inside of a round.. “I’m trying to get finishes, I’m trying to damage my opponent from the get-go. I think I’ve got accurate punches. With the small gloves, if I land accurately, people go down and then I’ve got a good finishing ability I believe.”
“He had a good range. It was what I expected. He was very long. I just had to take my time.I landed a good shot and I saw him go down,” Della Maddalena said. “I knew that was my opportunity. I was hammerfisting. I was trying to land hard shots, and he was sort of squirming away. I think he turned to all fours. I just saw the neck and thought, ‘I’ve got to jump on that and take it.’ If someone gives me their neck, I’m gonna try and choke them unconscious.
“It was just incredible. Just to see the crowd, whenever I looked at someone they were so excited,” he said. “Just to fight here and then give the audience someone from the hometown. I think it’s a cool gift to give them so they can see that anyone can do this. It felt like any normal fight, to be honest.”
“There was [pressure], but I think all that added pressure makes the victory feel that much better,” he said. “I loved it. Every second of the added pressure was awesome.”
