Jack Della Maddalena is the name that has recently taken the world by storm. With the welterweight fighter getting the better of Belal Muhammad, he is now at the top of the welterweight division. Now, as Della Maddalena looks forward to defending his title, US MMA fighter Din Thomas stated that he might be a candidate for the Fighter of the Year.
In a recent interaction, Thomas pointed out the rapid emergence of Della Maddalena. Till now, he is undefeated in the UFC. Moreover, he has knocked out the likes of Gilbert Burns in his previous bouts. And now, putting on a dominant performance, Della Maddalena has floored Muhammad too. Now, according to Thomas, he just needs to get past Islam Makhachev. If he can do that, then surely, the Australian will be the Fighter of the Year.
“He[Jack] already beat Belal. If he could beat Islam Makhachev, he’s the Fighter of the Year. I don’t think there’s anything that can top that,” said Thomas.
