Jack Della Maddalena has become the latest victim of an apparent welterweight curse, according to which former champions tend to enter losing streaks. The post outlines the pattern: Johny Hendricks lost three straight, Robbie Lawler lost four straight, Tyron Woodley lost four straight, Kamaru Usman lost three straight, Leon Edwards has now lost three straight, and Belal Muhammad has lost two straight. Della Maddalena, despite never being champion, has now lost two consecutive fights. The post characterizes this as an unpleasant trend affecting the division's top fighters.
