The Australian prospect finished the fight with a stinging body shot that knocked down Emeev in the first round before delivering a few more punches as the referee jumped in to save the Dagestani welterweight.

At UFC 270, Jack Della Maddalena made his promotional debut against Pete Rodriguez, winning the fight with a counter-left hook that stifled his rival.

"Every challenge is different... one fight at a time. I'm ready to go home to Perth Australia and get another fight in by February and summer off in Perth and put someone away in front of my beautiful friends and family."

When asked about who he has in mind for the next fight, the welterweight contender simply stated that he'll fight anyone the UFC offers him:

"Honestly, anyone. The first person they give me I'll probably say yes and be on my merry way."
