UFC 270 is set to get going this weekend from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on Saturday, January 22nd. There is a five-bout main card that will start at 10:00 p.m. ET is highlighted by a heavyweight title fight between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane, but there’s plenty of action earlier in the day. ESPN and ESPN+ will host the preliminary card that starts at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, where you can watch Jack Della Maddalena vs. Pete Rodriguez in a welterweight bout.
Della Maddalena enters with a 10-2 record in his professional fighting career. He lost his two first fights and has won 10 in a row. Most recently, Della Maddalena defeated Ange Loosa in September of 2021 via a unanimous decision. This was the first bout of his career to go to a decision.
Rodriguez is still relatively new to professional fighting and is 4-0 in his young career. The 25-year-old has won all of his fights by first-round knockout with his latest victory coming against Roberto Pixley in June of 2021. He has two victories that haven’t lasted even a minute so look for Rodriguez to come out swinging.
