PERTH, Australia – Jack Della Maddalena is confident he would make quick work of UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad . A rising contender at 170 pounds, Della Maddalena (17-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) is coming off a come-from-behind knockout win over former title challenger Gilbert Burns at UFC 299 this past March. After finishing Burns, Della Maddalena called out undefeated Shavkat Rakhmonov , but complications from arm surgery have kept him sidelined. The 27-year-old Aussie still hopes he can draw a top contender in his next fight, which could set him up for a title fight against newly crowned champ Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC). “I think 2025, Belal’s going down with this left hand,” Della Maddalena said during the UFC 305 Q&A .
