The
Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Canada is now
official following the
UFC Edmonton weigh-ins.
The middleweight main event will see Joaquin
Buckley and Mike Malott
clash over five rounds. Ever the professionals, both men had no
issue making weight. The same can be said for the rest of the
13-match card, as all 26 fighters hit their marks.

Buckley (21-8) looks to defend his top 10 ranking inside the
promotion. „New Mansa“ has struggled recently, with back-to-back
defeats to Kamaru
Usman and Sean Brady
derailing his title shot hopes. The 32-year-old will try to get
back on track against the Canadian and weighed 170.5 pounds for his
third UFC main event.
Meanwhile, Malott (14-2-1) is looking to earn the biggest win of
his career in his second UFC headline bout. „Proper“ is on a
four-fight win streak that includes a TKO victory over Gilbert
Burns. At 34, it’s now or never for the Team Alpha Male fighter
to make a run. Malott also weighed 170.5 pounds.
UFC Edmonton will stream live on Paramount+ in its entirety. The
main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, while the prelims start at
5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
