‘Perth is a long way to travel to get beaten up,’ but Jack Della Maddalena hopes someone willing to at UFC 284
LAS VEGAS – Jack Della Maddalena remains on a roll and wants it to continue at home early next year.
Della Maddalena was the biggest betting favorite on the card Saturday at UFC Fight Night 215, and he showed why when he overwhelmed Danny Roberts for a first-round TKO at the UFC Apex. It was an impressive finish that earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
It was also Della Maddalena’s 13th consecutive win, which includes finishes in all three of UFC fights in 2022.
As for what’s, it’s a no-brainer what Della Maddalena wants: a fight on home soil at UFC 284 on Feb. 11 in Perth, Australia.
“A hundred percent,” Della Maddalena told reporters, including MMA Junkie.

Della Maddalena will say yes to whomever the UFC offers him so long as he gets the chance to fight at home.
