“I think everyone who said they were into fighting (me) all had fights locked in,” Della Maddalena said during the UFC Vegas 77 media day. “It was never really an option of those guys. If I had the choice, I’d probably have picked the highest ranked guy I could’ve. But beggars can’t be choosers and I just took what I could. If you want to fight, let’s do it. If you want to fight down the line, let me fight and then we’ll figure it out. But I want to fight someone legit in Australia.”

UFC 293 takes place this September in Sydney.
