Jack Della Maddalena has become the latest victim of a supposed welterweight curse, where former champions go on losing streaks shortly after losing their titles. The post outlines a pattern: Johny Hendricks lost 3 in a row, Robbie Lawler 4, Tyron Woodley 4, Kamaru Usman 3, Leon Edwards 3, Belal Muhammad 2, and now Della Maddalena has lost 2 consecutive fights. This trend is described as an unpleasant tendency afflicting the division. The post emphasizes the consistency of this pattern across multiple former welterweight champions, suggesting it may be more than coincidence.
