Jack Della Maddalena is gearing up to face Gilbert Burns at UFC 299. ͏Riding a seven-fight winning streak, his upcoming bout is as ͏crucial as ever. With a record of 16-2, Maddalena stands as the UFC’s next prospect in the welterweight division. He is also Australia’s ͏hopeful contender for ͏the welterweight title. However, is the fighter from a different place?

We have many fighters who fight for a different country but have their roots back in another country, be it Ilia Topuria, Muhammad Mokaev, or many more. Today let us find out all about Jack Della Maddalena’s nationality and ethnicity. So without any further ado let’s dive in.

Jack Della Maddalena believes in duality

Fighting out of Perth, Australia, Jack Della Maddalena is one of the finest fighters in Australia, notably after Alexander Volkanovski and Robert Whittaker. Born to a Christian family on 10 September 1996, Jack Della Maddalena is as much Australian as anyone can be. He alongside his brother Josh Della Maddalena started their MMA journey in the streets of Perth.

Della Maddalena likes to keep his family affairs personal and hidden. There’s hardly any deep information about his family in the records, however, one thing for certain. Della Maddalena is Australian by heart and nationality but his roots stretch to Italy. He was born into a family of Italian descent on his Sardinia-born grandfather’s side. So it would not be wrong to state him as part Italian and part Australian.
