Recently, a story came out suggesting that Della Maddalena would be using a venue event to help raise funds for his team to travel to UFC 315. The story, understandably, raised a few eyebrows, leading many to wonder why the UFC wasn’t covering the entire bill.

Della Maddalena’s situation

“Jack Della Maddalena was not raising funds to get his team to #UFC315 in Montreal. Jack was making a paid appearance and there was a miscommunication with the venue, who actually made that post and it was “absolutely outside of Jack’s permission or knowledge.”  Just to clear the air on that whole story.”

“Well the event is cancelled for one, so it’s no longer happening. The venue was paying for Jack’s appearance and they made the post about the event. You’d have to ask them about the money. Jack’s management team just made it clear the whole “fundraising thing” wasn’t him at all.”

Now, hopefully the focus can shift back to what is important – the biggest opportunity of this young man’s career.
