This weekend’s UFC welterweight title fight came close to kicking off early following Thursday’s pre-fight press conference in Montreal.

UFC welterweight title challenger Jack Della Maddalena isn’t allowing himself to be overawed ahead of what is undisputedly the biggest fight of his life. On Saturday night in Montreal, the 28-year-old Australian will challenge Belal Muhammad for the UFC welterweight title — a situation which has come about due to his 17-fight winning streak dating back to 2016. None of those fights, though, came with quite the same magnitude as this one.
