Man JDM is underrated, I didn't think he was that good, man he stopped nearly all Belal's takedowns, that performance against Belal was absolute masterclass, looking forward to see you my man ❤❤❤❤
So happy to have watched this fight with my dad, the poor fellas got cancer but you couldn't tell shit while the fight was on he was over the moon watching JDM you legend Cheers mate!
If JDM can keep it on the feet like he did with Belal, which I highly believe he can, he’s definitely smoking Islam on the feet. I’m an Islam fan but seeing JDM neutralize the grappling and being able to hit that flow state with the hands was a masterpiece to see.
I agree but islam is a way better striker than belal in my opinion and way more dangerous overall mma fighting style but I am backing jack to win. Im a big jack fan lol so im biased.😅
JDM should book Craig Jones now for the Islam camp. Craig has already watched the footage, done the analysis on Islam for Volk fights. He knows Islam's game well. And Volk was pretty effective in dealing with Islam's wrestling.
I’m new to JDM, but he’s got such an interesting personality. He’s so calm and collected. He fights the same way he holds and conversation. Really becoming a fan of his.
This might literally be the best interview I've ever seen with Ariel. Like JDM, open book, love the honesty! Down to earth, just speaks from the heart. Amazing!
As an Australian, i completely understand that general personality of our fighters doesn't resonate well with the showman aspect of selling the fights.. But regardless of that, very proud to have fighters like jdm volk whittaker representing us in the mma world.. inside and outside the cage, humble, respectful, and full of dog.
They are legit and they don't talk fake shit or start fake beefs to entertain the casuals. They let their fighting do the talking and they don't play that WWE shit! If your a fan who needs that drama then just look at Aussies like JDM, Volk, Whittaker, Tuivasa etc as babyfaces who have manners! 😂
This is my favourite interview, and yes Im bias to JDM but i love how Ariel just gets to know the fighter. Asks the questions we want to hear the answers to.
I am a Makhachev fan and I know imma get hate for this but I am a Belal fan too but I will say I really like JDM and think he is a breath of fresh air. Guys like Ilia Topuria, we've seen them. The flashy guys who talk a lot of trash, but it's refreshing to see a nice humble guy who just works hard and became champ not through his words but through his fighting. Wish JDM the best of luck, I do think Islam is good enough to win the belt against JDM but I know JDM won't go down without a proper fight
Fantastic conversation with the new welterweight champ Jack Della Madallena, Ariel! Jack is so humble, respectful, classy, love his chill vibe. Just a great guy! 😊 Thanks for having him on the show.
It’s a shame that Rob, Volk and now JDM don’t get the recognition they deserve here. As a 20 + year mma tragic, this is up there with my NRL team the grand final. I lost my shit on Sunday watching this legend get that Strap. Fucking epic 🔥
I think he’s saying that fighters aren’t as celebrated/recognised down under vs other athletes. Winning a UFC belt is a crazy accomplishment, and most people don’t realise how hard it is to do. Winning a UFC belt is like winning a gold medal at the olympics, but even more impressive because there’s less of them.
Woow what a down to earth guy.He still talk like a normal person.Congratulations.The way he maintained his head movements,footwork and striking till the very last minute of the fight is amazing to watch.
This dude is such a G! Huge fan of JDM and I feel that he’s going to be the most exciting champ since, Robbie Lawler! Props to, Belal Muhammad too! He showed heart and I really hope he starts getting respect💯
Called it when I saw him get out of that Darce on the Contender Series. Had to be a killer to get out that one. Ain’t done nothing but prove me right since. Proud of you JDM, you fuckin monster
literally, randomly turned it on and saw another aussie kid about to fight. The scrambles in that fightw as insane, along with his striking. I knew he was going to be good and had a feeling he could be top 5,/champion. So fucking happy
Man as a Montrealer it’s heartwarming to see our city get love internationally lately. People like to hate on the French but it’s truly a gem of a city
Jack dictated the tempo of the fight, owned the center of the octagon, stufffed most of the takedowns, got back up when he was taken down, utilized all his tools to showcase real violence and he took the championship. It was a pleasure to see.
Such an inspiring interview - a true testament to a fighter with such commendable and sincere character. JDM, not just a champion in competition, but a champion in spirit as well. Congratulations 🎉
Watching Ariel talk about Australia is some of the funniest TV I’ve listened to in a while, being Australian. Love how our cultures can be so different but we all share the same commentary. Jack was definitely humouring Ariel a bit haha
LFG!!!! Congratulations Jack. Insane performance. To see how much he leveled up between the Burns fight and the Belal fight was wild. Such slick footwork and head movement. Absolutely brilliant to watch.
And he's only going to go up another level when he faces Islam which I think jack will knock out and if he does get taken down he won't be on his back long he knows how to get up without putting himself in danger so I don't think Islam will have much luck holding him down for to long seen burns and Belal couldn't keep him down on the ground
That was cool talking about Our city - Perth, Western Australia. Hope JDM has much more success. Anyway us fans think you are a celebrity. You might have to accept that.
I am from Sydney but there is definitely something in the water in Perth. The volume of top-level athletes coming out of such a smalll city is pretty wild.
I pretty much only watch mma these days, who else are you talking about? Just curious cos Im from perth. We're pretty physically active I guess. I mean not me but others haha
I fwlt like that whe.n Whittaker fought Khamzat cos Khamzats my fave fighter but I love Whittaker. You can view it like you dont want either to lose, which is true. But the upside in a way is you can be happy for whoever wins. Perth (and australia) need these guys cos MMA is still not really big here in the media.

Hes so chill but in the cage he's an absolute savage!!
Standard Aussie. We are all the same 😂
He's just a chill dude bruh
FW - Volk
WW - JDM
HW - Tom
The chillest trio of champions in ufc
Us aussies never counted him out, he did the whole country proud

Proud is an understatement what a bloody legend Aussie Aussie Aussie hoy hoy hoy
@@maxgargan6121what were the odds
Im Aussie, but I just thought Belal was rolling and he'd grind JDM out but as soon as the first round started I knew.

Very nice of Aiemann Zahabi to have JDM on his podcast
😂😂
Hardy har har
Best comment.
What does this mean
They look the same @@dave9547
Only 15 mins in and it's so wholesome how down to earth this guy is. He almost seems nervous bless him. Have the highest of hopes for this man.
I would say he seems quietly confident rather than nervous
Bless him?😂😂 no this is just his personality…not taking hype. Just a normal aussie bloke.

Legit what argument do you have against that no helmets and pads just brutes
Doesnt even take his belt.. that tells you about the humility
If I was a champion I’d have the belt with me 24/7 lol
What a super laid back and chill dude, humble too. Wasn't expecting him to be like this from the way he fights, I'm a fan now.
I mean he is Aussie
Likewise. He’s a unique but very humble guy, a great fighter and he doesn’t talk any trash !
Blue collar Jack is a man of the people
Man JDM is underrated, I didn't think he was that good, man he stopped nearly all Belal's takedowns, that performance against Belal was absolute masterclass, looking forward to see you my man ❤❤❤❤
both he and Ian Garry have impressed the shit outta me lately
@@blessembreaksYep, they gameplan well for their opponents and adapt
It was remarkable!! I was shocked
JDM is not underrated at all. I think he’s always been fairly rated
Jdm is that good but belal is 36 you really start slowing down
What wholesome interview. Ariel doesn’t get enough recognition for some of his interviews. This was fantastic!
Bro is so chilled what the hell. Most chilled champ ever you wouldn't think he was an absolute dog in the cage
So happy to have watched this fight with my dad, the poor fellas got cancer but you couldn't tell shit while the fight was on he was over the moon watching JDM you legend Cheers mate!
Powerful stuff brother. Wishing you and your father strength
Im glad your Dad is still able to enjoy himself. Hope you and your family are doing well 👍🏻
Wishing your Dad the best 👊🏻
Wishing you and your father the best, keep the strength !

Volk rocked Islam. Granted, that was with the weird hydration in OZ, but it happened.
Islam is a demon on the ground tho.
@@dustinkilburnthat’s why he failed to submit volk and was forced into defensive grappling
I agree but islam is a way better striker than belal in my opinion and way more dangerous overall mma fighting style but I am backing jack to win. Im a big jack fan lol so im biased.😅
@@natamarley1210 as an Australian i understand you ahahha. JDM is 3 letters, GSP is 3 letters.... you can fill in the blanks. JDM by murder

This is the best JDM interview

Hey Ariel, as a Canadian living in Perth, I can confirm your Australian questions are an embarassment to both countries!
Which parts?
JDM sounds like a really cool guy. This made me more of a fan.
Same, Super chill outside but a straight savage in the cage
This might literally be the best interview I've ever seen with Ariel. Like JDM, open book, love the honesty! Down to earth, just speaks from the heart. Amazing!
On ya Jack, Australia is proud of you , big love (no jones) from Melbourne
No Jones lmfao

55:10 JDM glaze ends
Ariel is a clown
Thank you 🙏🏼
I don't know what I'd do without you, very helpful. 🙏🏼
Ariel is a hypocrite
Bro thinks its a bedtime mma comment section
This is my favourite interview, and yes Im bias to JDM but i love how Ariel just gets to know the fighter. Asks the questions we want to hear the answers to.

Fantastic conversation with the new welterweight champ Jack Della Madallena, Ariel! Jack is so humble, respectful, classy, love his chill vibe. Just a great guy! 😊 Thanks for having him on the show.
When he said “The belt doesnt really mean much and anybody can win at any given night” thats how you know hes a real fighter 💪🏽
He's literally the chilliest guy I've ever met in my life. Super humble, too. His family is great as well. See ya at the Scrappy Jack!
Crazy how chill he is in day to day life vs how violent he is in the cage.
The bloke beats his opponents like they owe him money.
Mate hearing Ariel talk about Aussie stuff with JDM at the end was so chill
Volk, Rob, jack. All humble chill af goofballs who just love violence and fighting but stay so grounded.
Aussies are just built different
I don’t know how anyone can root again these Aussie fighters. Volk, Whittaker, JDM, just all solid legit dudes.
Even the guys who didn't win titles like Tai Tuivasa, Erceg, Sinosic, the Tafa Brothers etc seem very cool.
"It doesn't really matter what he (Islam) thinks; we're gonna fight. I'm excited." This guy man 😤
This was a good interview Ariel… Your personality was a great dynamic against JDM’s crazy chill way of being.
It’s a shame that Rob, Volk and now JDM don’t get the recognition they deserve here. As a 20 + year mma tragic, this is up there with my NRL team the grand final. I lost my shit on Sunday watching this legend get that Strap. Fucking epic 🔥
Chur bro, up the anzacs
@@treybidois3901time for you guys to uphold your end and get kai the belt.
How do you mean ?Most people are aware of what they've achieved
What do you mean they don’t get recognition? They’re some of the most highly talked about fighters brrrr

Bro same when I saw that darce escape and that slick boxing until the end of the bell on DWCS I said he’d be champ, absolute weapon
Watched all his ufc fights in a row last night
After each fight he keeps getting better
Insane that he hasn’t peaked
Islam’s darce is different, everyone says that. Ain’t no getting out of that
@@JudoOnTopxxI agree. I think JDM gone be his hardest fight regardless and he gone have to work his ass off to get that Darce.
Man he is so chill, we needed champions like these who focus more on the rights and not the antics. Congratulations champ 👏
JDM just walking in and not caring that the belt is with him says everything you need to know about where his priorities are at. Gotta love it.
Man as a Montrealer it’s heartwarming to see our city get love internationally lately. People like to hate on the French but it’s truly a gem of a city
All the people that didn’t think he had a chance IGNORED the fact he broke his arm in half during burns and still won
Maddogg made it to mma hour, unbelievable 😂 never thought I'd see the day.
It took great effort to sit and watch an hour long video of Ariel talking.
But I endured it to show my support to Jack once more.
Onya mate ! 👊🏻
Helwani tryin to subtly spark drama wherever he can and Jack’s just too wholesome to take the bait. Love it.
Jack dictated the tempo of the fight, owned the center of the octagon, stufffed most of the takedowns, got back up when he was taken down, utilized all his tools to showcase real violence and he took the championship. It was a pleasure to see.
Literally how the majority of Perth talks haha, doesn't say a whole lot, just chilling haha, what a legend
Such an inspiring interview - a true testament to a fighter with such commendable and sincere character. JDM, not just a champion in competition, but a champion in spirit as well. Congratulations 🎉
I honestly love this guy. What a man. So humble. The sport needs a kind family man like Jack. Bloody legend 👏
Mad dog copping a mention on the helwani show was not on my bingo card 😂
Lmfao outrageous
As an Aussie, this interview is priceless - Immediately following Jack’s big win
Watching Ariel talk about Australia is some of the funniest TV I’ve listened to in a while, being Australian.

Bush chook. That was harder than fighting Belal.
Such a wholesome interview Ariel great down to earth chat with JDM. So chill and enjoyable to watch.
Aussie Aussie Aussie!! Oi Oi Oi!! Congrats champ 🎉 🎉
It was beautiful 2 watch
That was cool talking about Our city - Perth, Western Australia. Hope JDM has much more success.
Anyway us fans think you are a celebrity. You might have to accept that.
Since the Dana Whites Contender Series. This guy has always been one of my favorites to watch.. so happy for him
I like Jack. Seems cool af and not delusional and that makes him even more dangerous, his sense of awareness.
The reason Belal didnt shoot TDs as much as he did against Leon is because JDM threatened the uppercut and knee constantly. Leon didn't.
Leon threatened a whole lot of F all in that fight.
@thesatisfiedcustomer4869😂😂😂😂got dropped on his head
Jack, I am a fan of you. You’re a humble and genuinely cool dude. Great content Ariel, I appreciate it!
Good for JDM, the most humble and my new favorite champ

Happy for Jack. Also seems like a great guy. Looking forward to his next fight
JDM is an evolved Nick Diaz
Reminds me so much of Nick Diaz. Fighting style. Attitude.
You can tell this man hit a rock bottom and it made him a better man. Very humble and thankful for the journey, No handouts just hard work
That was awesome . Let’s go Western Australia !🇦🇺
Love that Ariel brought up Mad Dog haha thats a perth local legend
JDM is a real one. Massive respect
Nice to see Zahabi still conscious aftet that penalty kick from Aldo
He’s so cool. Even tho I’m supporting Islam but I live in Perth so I honestly don’t know what to do at this point because he’s awesome ❤

That guy showcased a MASTERCLASS against a great grappler. Best performance vs a grappler I have seen.
Handsome Jack Della ur a great ambassador for MMA, even me Ma is rooting for ya👊🏽
couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke. great fighter. excited for the future of the WW division
Thanks JDM for making the WW division great again!! 🙏 👏
What a chill guy
This guy is steady, seems like he was brought up legit
What a performance and it’s always dope to see a first time champ
I fucking love his scrambling and his roles poleys
Violence is back on top in the ufc. Sweet
Same dude he was before the fight down to earth, and he's the youngest champ we got rn. If this guy beats Islam, he's gonna be really special.
i'm islam makhachev fans respect for you jdm , you vs islam is the big show ✊🏻
Thats class. Good on ya brother
Love JDM’s vibe, what a legend
JDM such a chill cool guy. He’s going be champ for a while. He’s going beat Islam.
Idk if he-ll win but I think he will do better than people suspect
One and done
Jack is such a chiller
I don't think that's even Ian's kid ey 😂
