Della Maddalena Comments on Victory Over Muhammad

MMA

Jack Della Maddalena, who recently claimed the UFC welterweight title, shared his thoughts on his bout against Belal Muhammad.

The Australian fighter secured a unanimous decision victory over the American in the main event of UFC 315 in Montreal, Canada, held today, May 11.

After the fight, Maddalena commented: “I saw the fight like that; I feel great. He applied pressure, I knew I had to fight smart in the standings, I should have been clearer in my striking, but it is what it is. When you fight a pressuring wrestler like Belal, you need to fight smart. When I saw that there were 30 seconds left, I understood that I was winning the fight, but I decided to go forward for the finish. Australia, now we have three champions!”
