The Australian rising star Jack della Maddalena has shocked the world by beating Belal Muhammad for the Welterweight championship UFC 315 Map in Canada.
Della Maddalena, who is unbeaten in the UFC, won the title match by decision after five debilitating rounds.
The fight was the first outing of Della Maddalena since the breaking of his left forearm in a TKO victory on Gilbert Burns in March last year.
Infection after infection meant that Della Maddalena needed four different attacks of operations, so that he was put out of operation for 14 months.
For the first time in history, Australia now has two UFC champions at the same time – with Alex Volkanovski who won the featherweight Kroon last month.
