One aspect of the sport which the fighters would not like is the weight cut. The fighters have to go through a rigorous program which takes a toll on their body and health. Moreover, this also happens just hours and days before the ultimate showdown in the octagon. Furthermore, many of the fighters have a very tough time cutting their weight. They seem tired when appearing before the public and numerous of them have also backed out from a fight as they couldn’t make weight. Recently, a drastic weight cut left the fans worried about a UFC fighter.
A video of Jack Della Maddalena is going viral on the internet. The UFC welterweight can be seen in an interview after the weigh-ins of UFC 284. Della Maddalena seemed in very bad condition, dropping to 170 pounds in weight despite seeming healthy days before the weigh-in.

The fans noticed something unusual in the interview with the UFC welterweight and soon pointed it out. The interview was uploaded on Reddit with the caption, “Jack Della Maddalena shaking/twitching in his weigh-in show interview”. One fan commented on a post on Reddit, “Agreed w others. Interview their coaches and teammates. Not the fighters that just went through brutal weight cuts.”
Another fan on Reddit felt the questions weren’t unique or important enough to ask after a weight cut. Furthermore, one social media user said, “He’s definitely unwell. His teeth are almost chattering by the end of the clip. I think it’s also made worse by the fact that he’s not the most confident public speaker yet.”
Similarly, one fan said, “o reason to do interviews immediately after weigh ins”. Another fan commented, “Interviewing these guys right after the weight cut is plain right stupid. Idc what anybody says”.
Moreover, one fan was worried about Della Maddalena. They said, “Feckkkk…. I’m a huge Jack Della fan but this makes me nervous. He sounds sick, looks like a skeleton and seems in visible pain. Hopefully once the electrolytes kick in he’s back to normal”.
One fan advised the UFC welterweight, “Homeboy needs to go up a weight class”. Another fan gave their opinion, “Probably needs to be more disciplined in his cut and or get a better team for the cut. But also, let the man re hydrate before you interview him lol”.
