Keep Your Eyes on Mike Malott, the Standout Fighter at UFC 297

 

Get ready, fight fans! The UFC is hitting up Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for its first Pay-Per-View of 2024, marking a comeback since the last showdown at UFC 231.

Leading the charge is the new middleweight champ, Sean Strickland, going toe-to-toe with challenger Dricus Du Plessis. And that's not all – the co-main event promises a clash for the vacant women's bantamweight championship between Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva.

Hometown hero, Mike Malott, a seasoned welterweight from Burlington, Ontario, is making his second consecutive appearance on the main card. His adversary? The 13th-ranked Neil Magny.

Malott, a proud black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kicked off his career with a bang, boasting a 4-0 record with four finishes. After a stint in the now-defunct World Series of Fighting (now the PFL) and a 2-0-1 run in Bellator, Malott showcased his skills on Dana White's Contender Series. A quick 39-second submission in his debut at UFC 273 set the tone, with three more victories under his belt, the latest being a triumph over Adam Fugitt at UFC 289.

Neil Magny, a UFC veteran with 31 bouts spanning 11 years, is no stranger to the welterweight scene. Debuting at UFC 157, he's notched up impressive records, including the most wins in 2014. Despite a recent setback against Ian Machado Garry at UFC 292, Magny brings a wealth of experience, defeating notable names like Kelvin Gastelum, Johny Hendricks, Robbie Lawler, and Carlos Condit.

In this clash of titans, Malott, with a perfect finish rate, aims to extend his streak against Magny. The latter, with a seven-inch reach advantage, stands tall, but Malott's strength could tip the scales. As Malott eyes a spot in the rankings, the welterweight division braces for the impact of this showdown.

The stage is set for an epic night of fights in Toronto – a spectacle that promises excitement, drama, and the relentless pursuit of victory. Don't blink – you won't want to miss UFC's return to the Great White North!
