Australian fighter Jack Della Maddalena is on his way to creating a legacy within the UFC welterweight division. The fighter continued his undefeated streak within the promotion by securing his latest win over Belal Muhammad at UFC 315. The win brought along the crown of the welterweight championship previously held by Belal. While the professional abilities of the fighter have been well established by his recent conquest within the division, let’s have a look at the personal life of the fighter.Born on September 10, 1996, Jack Della Maddalena, shortly known as JDM, spent his childhood and youth in Perth, Western Australia. The fighter had Italian descent owing to his grandfather, who was born in Sardinia. Initially, JDM was into rugby, and he even represented his school for quite a few years before finally transitioning into the world of boxing under the influence of his elder brother. Soon, the fighter transitioned into the world of MMA.Having retired from the sport of rugby, JDM dived into the world of MMA after training in boxing initially. His pro-MMA career didn’t have a decent start with two back-to-back losses against Aldin Bates and Darcy Vendy. JDM’s first victory of his career came against Brandt Cogill at the EMMA: Eternal MMA 20. Since then, the fighter has not faced a single defeat, bringing his MMA record to 18-2. His UFC record stands at 8-0 after the recent title conquest in the welterweight division against Belal Muhammad. JDM maintains a distinction between his personal and professional life. The UFC's undefeated fighter has been in a relationship with his wife, Michelle Della Maddalena, since 2016, before finally tying the knot on March 29, 2022. However, the couple doesn’t reveal much about their personal life on social media. Recently, the couple welcomed their second child, but hasn’t revealed her name anywhere.
