Jack Della Maddalena has now suffered two consecutive losses, continuing a pattern dubbed the 'welterweight curse' where former champions enter losing streaks. The post notes that recent welterweight champions have experienced similar fates: Johny Hendricks lost three straight, Robbie Lawler four straight, Tyron Woodley four straight, Kamaru Usman three straight, Leon Edwards three straight, and Belal Muhammad two straight before Della Maddalena joined the list with two losses. The trend is described as an unpleasant pattern affecting the welterweight division's former titleholders.
