We were 10 minutes into that fight\u2026 Jack hasn\u2019t thrown a punch yet,\u201d Sonnen said during ESPN\u2019s UFC 322 post-fight show. \u201c20 minutes into this fight, he had thrown a total of 31 punches. Of those 31 &#8211; only 20 of them landed and most of these were to the body. I was waiting for Jack to get going. It was the same position rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI appreciate a good double leg, the other side of that, I learned that in my first five minutes of wrestling practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/ufcstats.com\/fight-details\/856f6ee049373843\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official stats<\/a> for the showdown, Della Maddalena only connected on 30 of 74 total strikes, while Makhachev connected on 140 of 188 total strikes. Makhachev also landed four takedowns and had 19:10 minutes of control time for the 25-minute fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">UFC analyst Anthony Smith was also puzzled by the effort put out by the former UFC welterweight champion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI was disappointed in Jack\u2019s output, and his ability to get to his feet&#8230; Jack wasn\u2019t doing enough to force Islam to have to work any harder. He was very content to just hold the position. He chased a couple of submissions. He didn\u2019t have to work too hard at it though,\u201d Smith said on the post-fight show. \u201cJack really never got going on his feet. He only is successful when he punches in combinations, when he is switching stanches in mid-combination, when he is going to the body. He did absolutely none of that\u2026Jack didn\u2019t force him to have to get into second gear &#8211; so why would you?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chael Sonnen was not impressed with Jack Della Maddalena\u2019s performance at UFC 322 on Saturday night. \u201cI feel&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,701,638,82,640,702],"class_list":{"0":"post-286990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-latest-news","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-ufc","15":"tag-ufc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
