Jack della Maddalena proved that he has both heart and skills during his last UFC fight.
The 17-2 competitioner takes Champion Belal Muhammad on UFC 315 on Saturday evening in the field of Welterweight.
The title chance of Jack della Maddalena comes after an impressive 7-0 run in the UFC Octagon.
The 28-year-old proved that he was the real deal by eliminating a former title-finaler to pass the most difficult test of his career in March 2024.

Jack della Maddalena are brackish and still won
Della Maddalena took the biggest victory of his 19-Fight career against Burns on UFC 299.
The 28-year-old was on the score of the judge on the way to the third and final round.
Speaking to fight with urgency, 'JDM' delivered a big knee to drop burns before he followed him to the floor and landing annoying ground attacks to close the show with only 77 seconds on the clock.
After the fight, Della Maddalena revealed that he had suffered a horrible broken arm in the first round against Burns.
A photo of his X -ray, which did not show his arm at all in place, then went viral on social media.
After a grim infection and several operations, Della Maddalena will finally return to action this weekend.
Gilbert Burns offers UFC 315 prediction
Gilbert Burns is better placed than most to predict the UFC 315 head event.
10 months before he was confronted with Della Maddalena, 'Durinho' lost a decision against Muhammad.
Burns was originally Muhammad to win at UFC 315, but now he thinks we can be upset.
“Jack is so underestimated. Jack is so good,” he told Inside Fighting.
“I remember that I did that fight, it was very difficult to find the distance in the striking one. He is good. He is very hard, has good boxing combinations, good footwork. He fights exactly the same in both views.
“I broke his arm in the first round with a body skirt and he kept fighting throughout the fight. I got his back, couldn't do much. I took it down, couldn't do much. I did a lot of good things, but he had an answer for almost everything I did.
“It's a kind of 50/50 this fight … I finally lean a bit to Jack della Maddalena.”
