Mike Malott is ready to ascend to the welterweight elite. Gilbert Burns enters enemy territory to defend his ranking against Malott in Canada.
Canada hasn’t had a UFC champion since Georges St-Pierre won the middleweight title in 2017. Malott is a long way from joining GSP in the history books, but he takes a meaningful step forward on Saturday. The Canadian, buoyed by his countrymen in Winnipeg, can break into the top 15 with a win over one-time title challenger Burns.

Next month, UFC 328 touches down in Newark, New Jersey. UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev makes his first title defense against former champ Sean Strickland. There’s a heated rivalry there, with both men claiming to get the best of each other in training. The addition of Joshua Van vs. Tatsuro Taira beefs up the card. Their flyweight title fight was originally scheduled for UFC 327, but was moved back a few weeks after Van suffered an injury.
