Jack Della Maddalena Fundraiser Canceled After Miscommunication Clarified

The UFC fighter's alleged fundraiser for team travel expenses was revealed to be unauthorized, reigniting criticism of UFC's financial policies.

Jack Della Maddalena is set to fight Belal Muhammad for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 315 in Montreal on May 10, 2025.
A fundraiser announced by The Riverton Bar & Grill to cover Maddalena's team travel expenses was revealed to be a miscommunication and not authorized by the fighter.
The event, initially criticized by fans and used by Muhammad to mock Maddalena, has since been canceled, citing Maddalena's training commitments.
The UFC's policy of covering travel expenses for only two team members has drawn fresh criticism, with fans pointing to broader issues of fighter pay and support.
This controversy follows a recent $375 million antitrust lawsuit settlement that has intensified scrutiny of the UFC's financial practices.
