UFC Results: Jack Della Maddalena Claims Welterweight Gold

There’s a new king in the welterweight division at UFC Results. At UFC 315, held at the electrifying Bell Centre in Montreal, Australia’s Jack Della Maddalena etched his name in history by defeating Belal Muhammad to become the undisputed UFC welterweight champion. Stepping up on short notice to replace Shavkat Rakhmonov in the main event, Maddalena seized the opportunity with both hands and delivered a championship-worthy performance.

The five-round war between Maddalena and Muhammad was nothing short of exhilarating. For most of the bout, Maddalena showcased superior boxing, clean footwork, and sharp striking. Despite a valiant final-round push from Muhammad, the judges were unanimous in awarding the decision to Maddalena (48-47, 48-47, 49-46). His victory sends shockwaves through the division and raises immediate questions about his next opponent—potentially lightweight champion Islam Makhachev, who has expressed interest in moving up for a shot at two-division glory.
