The Australian welterweight’s coach, Tim Simpson, revealed on Instagram that his fighter suffered a broken arm early in the UFC 299.
“Jack Della Maddalena’s arm snapped clean early in the fight,” Simpson wrote. “Rallied for a finish in the third. Soldier! P.S. Gilbert kicks hard!”

That injury didn’t prevent Della Maddalena from rallying for a technical knockout victory at the 3:43 mark of Round 3. The Scrappy MMA product set the stage for the comeback by landing a knee on Burns as he attempted a takedown before sealing the victory with a barrage of elbows on the canvas. The 27-year-old Maddalena has won 17 straight outings — including seven within the Las Vegas-based promotion.
A timetable for Della Maddalena’s return was not given.
