Jack Della Maddalena’s recent victory at UFC 299 in Miami, Florida, has taken an even more dramatic turn, with revelations about the severe injury he overcame to secure the win.
Tim Simpson, Della Maddalena’s manager, revealed that the Australian sensation beat Gilbert Burns while nursing a broken arm—a fact underscored by an X-ray showing a clean break in the 27-year-old’s forearm, an injury that occurred “early in the fight.”
This shocking revelation adds a whole new layer of grit and determination to Della Maddalena’s triumph over Brazilian welterweight Burns in what was a riveting back-and-forth contest.
The fight came to a climactic end in the third round when Della Maddalena landed a knee that floored Burns, leading to a finish on the ground following a fierce flurry of elbows.
Della Maddalena’s manager remarked on this shocking win:
Jack Della Maddalena’s arm was cleanly broken early in the fight. Yet he rallied to finish in the third. A true soldier. No doubt Gilbert delivers powerful kicks!
The win marked Della Maddalena’s 17th consecutive victory and his seventh in the UFC, propelling him to the fifth spot in the promotion’s welterweight rankings.
However, details about when the injury precisely occurred during the match and whether Della Maddalena was fully aware of its severity during the fight remain unclear.
