How you can welcome home Perth UFC champ Jack Della Maddalena
After creating history earlier this month as WA's first UFC champion, Della Maddalena will appear at Yagan Square amphitheatre at 5pm on Wednesday for a meet and greet with fans.
Joining him will be his Championship Belt, which the Perth fighter won unanimously against Belal Muhammad in Montreal fight two weeks ago.
Sport and Recreation Minister Rita Saffioti said it was fitting a champion such as Jack received a champion's welcome.
'We're encouraging as many UFC fans as possible to head along to Yagan Square on Wednesday afternoon to give him the reception that he deserves.
'Jack's victory last weekend is game changing for mixed martial arts here in WA, making him our State's first ever UFC world champion.
'From Willetton to the world stage in Montreal, we are so proud of what Jack has achieved, particularly as he's fought back from a serious hand injury that kept him out of the octagon for some time last year.'
Della Maddalena now sits alongside Sydney's Alexander Volkanovski as a current UFC champion, with Volkanovski winning the featherweight title last month.
Fans eager to join in the fun at Yagan Square to welcome Jack home are encouraged to arrive early, with limited spots available.

Why Robert Whittaker wants to do it the hard way in his final run for a UFC title
Robert Whittaker knows he is entering his final days in the UFC and Australia's first world champion is at peace with it. All journeys have an end, and Whittaker wants his to start this weekend. He will face Dutch middleweight Reinier de Ridder in Abu Dhabi for the first in what he plans to be a four-fight sprint to the finish that ends with him retiring as middleweight champion in a couple of years. The 34-year-old knows it is a tall order, but he believes the ticking clock can give him greater motivation to finish his decorated career with the ultimate flourish. "It spurs me on, it gives me some extra oomph — seeing the end in sight is like the last 100 metres of a marathon," Whittaker said. "I feel like the timing is right, I'm ready for this last push, I'm ready to rip in and take everything I can." Given Whittaker's pedigree, popularity and status as a former champion, it could only take one win to propel him back to title contention. He is still one of the division's elite talents and the easy option would have been to wait for a more favourable match-up than de Ridder, a former ONE champion whose lower profile belies his considerable abilities. At 6-foot-4 with a reach of 201cm, the Dutch southpaw poses an unusual challenge and comes into the fight with three-straight finishes in the UFC, including a highly impressive TKO win over decorated American wrestler Bo Nickal. It meant Whittaker, a self-described creature of habit, had to change things up for this camp as he and his trainers searched far and wide for fighters who matched de Ridder's profile. "We brought in a lot of boys from the country, a lot from out of state, it's hard to find guys who are that tall and are southpaws," Whittaker said. "Normally, we get away with the bodies we have at the gym. "He's got good jiu-jitsu, he's going to shoot because that's where his strengths lie. But he brings that pressure as well — he's got a unique style — if you let him do what he wants, he can walk away with it. "He'll put on that pressure, try and make me uncomfortable, get me and grab me and all that jazz." Going through fighters like de Ridder is the most difficult path for Whitaker to get back to the title and that is exactly how he wants it. "One of my biggest goals in martial arts, in combat, has been to perfect my style, perfect the type of fighter I am, perfect being a fighter. You only get close to that when you take on hard challenges," Whittaker said. "I'm still working on it. I want to show a new level to myself on Saturday but every fight pushes me closer. Hopefully, when I walk away is when I'll be satisfied. "The skills I've built, the things I've achieved, they lend themselves to the fact I don't shy away from challenges. I never shrug away from a challenge, I run towards them." It is an attitude Whittaker will continue to look to as his division changes shape around him. In combat sports, the future consumes the past in merciless fashion and happy endings are the rarest thing of all. Time is utterly merciless and has already claimed much of Whittaker's generation. Most of the fighters he beat on his way to the title, like Yoel Romero and Ronaldo Souza, have retired or left the UFC and Israel Adesanya, who took the title from him and proved to be a puzzle Whittaker could not solve in the rematch, has lost three in a row and seems at a crossroads. The next championship bout will be fought between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev, two men whose title credentials were built on beating Whittaker in fights he is desperate to avenge before it is all over. Chimaev dislocated Whittaker's jaw with a face crank in their fight last October, which resulted in the Australian losing several teeth, but it was the knockout loss to du Plessis in 2023, which earned the South African the title shot that won him the belt, that burned even worse. To get a shot at redemption against either man, with the title on the line or not, Whittaker has to walk the hard path. Not because it is the best way towards what he wants, but because it is the only way he knows and anything else, to him, would not be as worthwhile. As an 11-year UFC veteran, he is from another time and Whittaker knows not everyone does it the old way — but he is proud that he does. "I don't think it's a lost art, it's just not as common as it used to be. It used to be less of a sport and more of a fight, now it's a bit more a sport and a little less of a fight," Whittaker said. "You still have to have that fight in you, but it's become more of a sport — there's still so many tough guys, the best guys have both. "They see the sport and conduct themselves as elite athletes, but they have that fire. I pride myself on that."

Mundine challenges McGregor to fight as doctors hit back at bare-knuckle claims
Doctors and medical experts have expressed concern over plans to launch a bare-knuckle fighting event in Brisbane, disputing claims the practice is safer than other combat sports such as boxing. On Wednesday, former boxing world champion Anthony Mundine announced Australia's first large scale bare-knuckle event to be held in Brisbane in September, calling the sport 'the purest form of fighting' and 'safer than boxing'. He also appears to challenge UFC superstar and bare-knuckle league co-owner Conor McGregor to a boxing fight in a video on Thursday. The Irish fighter made an unsuccessful bid to stage a similar event in Perth earlier this year. Australian Medical Association board member Professor Paul Griffin said this downplayed serious risks, and described the practice as 'brutal, outdated and dangerous'. 'The objective of this so-called sport is to knock your opponent into unconsciousness,' he said. 'In a best-case scenario, participants will suffer cuts, bruises, and potential damage to the soft tissue, tendons and ligaments in their hands. Sprains and fractures can occur, including facial fractures. 'In a worst-case scenario, someone could suffer a traumatic brain injury – particularly with repeated exposure to knockout blows.' Griffin added it 'beggars belief' that 'people would choose to expose themselves to danger for the sake of money or personal glory', particularly at a time when contact sports are taking concussion and brain injuries more seriously.
