UFC welterweights Mike Malott and Trevin Giles are set to face-off at UFC Edmonton on Nov 2 at Rogers Place.
First reported by Mike Heck Jr.
Malott (10-2-1) makes his return to the octagon after suffering his first UFC loss at the hands of Neil Magny at UFC 297 in January. That loss snapped a 3-fight win streak with victories over Adam Fugitt, Yohan Lainesse and Mickey Gall. The Contender Series alumn will fight in his home country for the second time in his UFC run.
Giles (16-6) will look to snap a two-fight losing streak when he faces Malott in Edmonton. Losses to Carlos Prates and Gabriel Bonfim were preceded by a split-decision victory over Preston Parsons in 2023.
The two have fought before, but in grappling, at Fury Pro Grappling 6 in 2022 where Malott took a unanimous decision victory over Giles.
The fight card as of now looks as follows:
- Rose Namajunas vs. Erin Blanchfield
- Derrick Lewis vs. Jhonata Diniz
- Ariane Lipski vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
- Mike Malott vs. Trevin Giles
