UFC 290 was a wild night for UFC fans. The world got to witness a fulfilling closure to the legendary career of Robbie Lawler. Moreover, UFC also got its next middleweight title challenger. The flyweight title changed hands as Alexandre Pantoja beat Brandon Moreno, and Bo Nickal yet again left fans stunned with his dominating performance.

Overall, each fight in the PPV, right from the early prelims, pushed fans to the edge of their seats. However, there was a particular fighter whose night on the 8th of July did not go as planned – Jack Della Maddalena.

After losing his chance to fight at UFC 290, Jack Della Maddalena may get a chance at UFC Vegas 77

Maddalena originally had a spot in the UFC 290 fight card. However, due to two back-to-back fight cancellations, he was left out when the PPV finally aired. Fans were excited about the Australian’s fight, as he delivered some memorable performances in the last few UFC outings.

Coming from Dana White’s Contender Series, Maddalena is undefeated in his last 14 fights. Moreover, at the age of 26, he sits at the #14 rank in the welterweight division.

Now, there is news that the Australian fighter is staying back in Vegas even after the UFC 290 has ended. Why? Because the promotion wants him to fight at UFC Vegas 77. According to reports, the fight will take place in the welterweight category.

While it is not clear whether he will fight a new signee or a ranked fighter, Dana White really wants Maddalena to step into the octagon soon.

Why was Jack Della Maddalena taken out of UFC 290?

The 26-year-old was going to fight Sean Brady at UFC 290. But just 8 days before the PPV, Brady pulled out of the fight because of an undisclosed injury. However, UFC found another opponent for Maddalena soon.

Just a few days later, the officials announced that Maddalena’s new opponent is going to be Josiah Harrell, a UFC newcomer. But as fate would have it, Harrell withdrew from the fight just a day prior after being diagnosed with Moyamoya disease, which is a rare cerebrovascular disease.
