Jack Della Maddalena Vows to Finish Islam Makhachev at UFC 322
One of the biggest fights of 2025 is the UFC 322 main event featuring Islam Makhachev versus Jack Della Maddalena. The bout will be held inside Madison Square Garden, an iconic venue that has hosted legendary fights and historic sporting spectacles. While the Dagestani enters as the betting favourite, Della Maddalena remains fully confident about his chances of pulling off victory.
Jack Della Maddalena wants to settle the rivalry with Islam Makhachev once and for all
In his last fight with Belal Muhammad, Jack Della Maddalena displayed exceptional striking skills alongside impressive takedown defense throughout the contest. That performance earned him massive attention from UFC fans, who are now backing him with confidence in the Makhachev showdown. Several analysts argue that the Australian possesses the right tools and ability to potentially end Makhachev’s dominant fifteen-fight winning streak.
JDM is currently working with BJJ expert Craig Jones in order to sharpen his ground game against a wrestler like Makhachev. Jones has an ongoing feud with the Dagestani fighters and wants to demonstrate the superiority of BJJ over combat sambo. He has also roped in Alexander Volkanovski, who has already fought Makhachev twice, in order to get some insights.
With all these preparations, Della Maddalena is ready to shock the world at MSG. “I’m going to go for it. Obviously, that would be the best-case scenario, get the finish. I can see it happening and I can see it blowing the roof off MSG. Taking out pound-for-pound No. 1 with no doubts, a finish would be the dream,” said Della Maddalena.
Islam Makhachev is ready for his biggest challenge
Heading into this matchup, Islam Makhachev fully understands the dangerous threat Jack Della Maddalena presents and is training accordingly. His mentor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has openly admitted that JDM represents the toughest challenge for Makhachev, demanding absolute focus. Recent training footage shows Makhachev looking massive and powerful, appearing fully prepared to make his long-awaited debut in the welterweight division.
Makhachev’s jump to welterweight has shaken the division’s landscape, leaving several top contenders waiting eagerly for their long-awaited opportunities. Big names, including Kamaru Usman and Ian Garry, have already expressed interest in challenging Makhachev should he defeat Della Maddalena. Fight fans are highly anticipating the intense verbal exchanges and psychological warfare between both stars as UFC 322 fight week approaches.
