Jack Della Maddalena Targets Shavkat Rakhmonov to Fast-Track Title Fight

“Islam’s wrestling is good…I got stuck there,” Maddalena (18-3) said after losing the welterweight title at UFC 322. “[A rematch] is the dream, and that’s why I want to fight Shavkat.” He believes beating Rakhmonov fast-tracks another title shot. Rakhmonov is 19-0, withdrew injured from a Belal Muhammad title bout, and is targeting a No. 1 contender return this year.
