Jack 'JDM' Della Maddalena is a former UFC welterweight champion and one of the best pure boxers in the sport, an Australian who climbed from regional circuits to the title on the back of tight, high-volume combinations and a granite chin. He built a long unbeaten UFC streak, surviving adversity against Gilbert Burns before beating Belal Muhammad in 2025 to win the championship in a boxing showcase.
His reign ended when pound-for-pound great Islam Makhachev moved up from lightweight to take the belt, followed by a setback against Carlos Prates. Fans love Della Maddalena for his fearless pocket fighting and world-class hands - a fighter who will trade with anyone and usually walk out the better boxer.

His elite boxing, fearless pocket fighting and rise from regional circuits to champion make him a thrilling, easy-to-root-for fighter.
