JACK DELLA MADDALENA VS DANNY ROBERTS LOWDOWN
Jack Della Maddalena (12-2) is becoming a hot prospects in the stacked welterweight division. He arrived to the UFC on a 10-fight win streak, which does not always mean much, but he outclassed Ange Loosa (2021) on the Contender Series and has looked a different class on the feet stepping up to the UFC racking up first-round knockouts over Pete Rodriguez and Ramazan Emeev.
Danny Roberts (18-6) walks out for his 13th UFC bout. He has had a very tough run in the UFC and has done well to compile a record of 7-5. He looked at his best melting Zelim Imadaev (2019) with a beautiful left hand and earning a hard-fought split decision over the grappler Ramazan Emeev (2021). However, he then crossed paths with the old truck Francisco Trinaldo back in May losing a unanimous decision to halt the momentum.
JACK DELLA MADDALENA VS DANNY ROBERTS PREDICTION
This is another super tough fight for Roberts. He will be grateful he is not up against a grappler so he can showcase his strengths. However, Maddalena is one of the best boxers in the division.
Roberts has ferocious hands himself which will create a thrilling stand-up battle. If Roberts mixes in his improving grappling with level-changes in between combinations, he has a chance.
However, it is hard to see Maddalena not piling on the damage before Roberts even attempts a takedown, if he does. He also has good jiu-jitsu so will not mind being put on his back. We can see some feisty exchanges but it hard to see the Aussie not being left standing over the Brit.
