BISPING HAS A NOSE FOR MAD TALENT
WITH a nose flatter than Ayers Rock, Jack Della Maddalena looks more like a battle-tested journeyman than one of MMA’S hottest prospects.
But once again the Aussie (below) was more accurate and destructive than Glenn Mcgrath at the Gabba as he claimed his third straight first-round win in the UFC when he forced Danny Roberts to the canvas after some pin-point strikes took a heavy toll on the Brit.
The 26-year-old welterweight’s performance at the Apex in Las Vegas was so impressive it led former middleweight champion Michael Bisping to declare: “He is special, he is a special talent. I tell you right now, he is a future title contender.
“The hands on this kid are something special.”
