🔍 Preview
- Jack Della Maddalena (25–2, 13 KOs): Australia’s first UFC welterweight champion, a crisp boxer with slick combinations and a knack for body shots. He shocked the division by dethroning Belal Muhammad earlier in 2025.
- Islam Makhachev (26–1): Former Lightweight king, known for suffocating grappling and composure under pressure. Now chasing history as a two-division champion.
The key storyline: can Della Maddalena’s striking survive Makhachev’s takedowns and ground dominance over five rounds?
🥊 Prediction
Makhachev’s transition to welterweight will test his strength and endurance, but his elite wrestling and control should prove decisive. Unless Della Maddalena lands early and clean, the Australian will be forced to fight off his back foot all night.
Prediction: Makhachev by unanimous decision after a competitive but controlled five rounds.
👉 For Asian fight fans, this means setting alarms early Sunday morning — but the reward could be witnessing history if Islam Makhachev becomes a two-division UFC champion.
