UFC welterweight contender Jack Della Maddalena has accused Khamzat Chimaev of using steroids.

After Dana White announced that Chimaev would face Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, Della Maddalena gave an interesting comment. Seemingly out of nowhere, the welterweight contender claimed Chimaev is on steroids.

“Chimaev loves steroids,” Jack Della Maddalena wrote on his Instagram story.

It was an interesting comment from Della Maddalena, but the UFC does do drug testing and Khamzat Chimaev has yet to fail one. However, the welterweight contender still believes ‘Borz’ is using steroids.

Khamzat Chimaev has yet to respond to Della Maddalena’s comments and whether or not he will is uncertain.

Jack Della Maddalena dealing with an injury

Jack Della Maddalena is coming off an impressive knockout win over Gilbert Burns back in March. The hope for Della Maddalena was to return at UFC 305 in Perth next weekend, but due to an injury, the welterweight contender wasn’t able to make that happen.

“I am still motivated to compete before the year’s end in the fight I believe is the toughest and makes the most sense.”Had surgery on my arm 1 week after 299. 10 days later my wound had begun splitting. Which was indicative of infection,” Della Maddalena posted (via ESPN). “Went in for surgery 2 as believed to be infection present, bone cleaned plate replaced, stayed in the hospital for 9 days on IV antibiotics then moved to oral antibiotics. Though the infection was under control, the wound itself had a couple of abscesses pop up over a 5-week period which had been cut and drained and had bacteria present.

“Unfortunately this means I won’t be competing at UFC 305 in Perth. Which is a tough pill to swallow. At the moment I am focused on recovery, Ridding my body of infection and allowing the bone to mend. planning to get my arm back to 100 percent which if all goes well will be in 12 weeks time. I am still motivated to compete before the year’s end in the fight I believe is the toughest and makes the most sense.”

Currently, it’s uncertain when Della Maddalena will return or who he will face in his return to the Octagon. He is 17-2 as a pro and is a perfect 7-0 in the UFC.

Shavkat Rakhmonov thinks Jack Della Maddalena should be careful what he wishes for.

The Aussie standout made it 17 in a row on Saturday night, scoring a sensational come-from-behind victory over perennial contender Gilbert Burns at UFC 299. Immediately following his seventh win inside the Octagon, JDM called for a fight with one of the scariest dudes in the division.

“There’s some scary people in this division, and I’m the f*cking scariest,” Della Maddalena said during his post-fight interview. “Shavkat Rakhmonov, I think me and you could make a hell of a title eliminator. One of the best in the business, let’s go!”

Getting wind of Della Maddalena’s callout, the undefeated ‘Nomad’ commended his confidence, but cautioned JDM for biting off a bit more than he can chew.

“I respect your courage and confidence Jack, but you will face the same fate as my previous opponents,” Rakhmonov wrote on X.

Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Jack Della Maddalena Makes a lot of sense

Thus far, Shavkat Rakhmonov is undefeated in his mixed martial arts career, dispatching all 18 of his opponents inside the distance with 10 submissions and eight knockouts. Through his last three appearances, ‘Nomad’ has worked his way through a slew of welterweight gatekeepers, including Neil Magny, Geoff Neal, and Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson. As a result, Rakhmonov currently sits as the No. 3 ranked contender in the division.

Before UFC 299, Jack Della Maddalena was sitting in the No. 11 slot, but after his performance against Gilbert Burns, JDM will likely find himself firmly placed in the top five, making a clash with Rakhmonov the next logical step for both men.

Aussie standout Jack Della Maddalena has his sights set on a welterweight title eliminator with the undefeated ‘Nomad’ Shavkat Rakhmonov.

Returning to the Octagon on March 9 at UFC 299, Della Maddalena will seek his seventh-straight win as he readies himself to take on the division’s No. 4 ranked contender Gilbert Burns.

In Perth to attend the WWE Elimination Chamber event on Saturday, February 24, Della Maddalena revealed that a fight with Kazakhstan’s Rakhmonov is one of his top priorities.

“Yeah, to fight Shavkat Rakhmonov in Perth would be my five-rounder for the title, or for the title eliminator… I think he’s the toughest fighter in the division outside of myself, JDM said in an interview with Submission Radio. “I think that’s where the big challenge lies. Of course, Gilbert, I’m looking at that 100%, but if I think of the next toughest guy, then yeah, Shavkat Rakhmonov.”

Of course, JDM is by no means looking past Gilbert Burns, who will be his toughest test to date. Thus far, Della Maddalena has secured victories over Pete Rodriguez, Ramazan Emeev, Danny Roberts, Randy Brown, Bassil Hafez, and Kevin Holland.

Like JDM, Shavkat Rakhmonov is 6-0 inside the Octagon with his most recent appearance coming against two-time title challenger Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at UFC 296 in December. Nomad’ scored a rear-naked choke submission in the closing seconds of the second round, moving to an impressive 18-0 in his mixed martial arts career and keeping his 100% finish rate intact.
