🇨🇦 Happy 35th Birthday to Canada's own Mike “Proper” Malott! 🇨🇦
🍁Mike Malott has established himself as one of Canada's leading MMA talents. A well-rounded fighter with a strong grappling base, dangerous submission skills and improving striking, Malott has built his reputation as an exciting UFC welterweight capable of finishing fights both on the feet and on the ground.🦫
His résumé includes some impressive victories:
Gilbert Burns: Third-round TKO in April 2026 in his first UFC main event.
Joaquin Buckley: Spectacular second-round knockout in October 2026.
Kevin Holland: BBC Massacre- Unanimous decision victory.
Charles Radtke: Second-round TKO.
Adam Fugitt: Submission victory at UFC 289.
He now a 15-2-1 professional record, five consecutive victories and among the UFC's top-10 welterweights.
Who's next?
🇨🇦I'd like to see Malott matched against another established top-10 contender. Names such as JDM, Brady or Ian/Layla Cuckchado Garry would make for fascinating matchups and give him an opportunity to move closer to title contention.🇨🇦
🦫Malott has expressed interest in returning in January 2027 for UFC 336 in Toronto, no opponent has officially been announced. Uncle Dana has indicated that Mike could headline the event if healthy. 🦫
🇨🇦At 35, Proper is entering what could be the most exciting chapter of his career. Canada's next legitimate welterweight title challenger? The conversation is certainly getting interesting! 🇨🇦
