Mansur Abdul-Malik Interview (2:17)
Kicking off this UFC Edmonton edition of TTP is our interview with UFC middlweight, Mansur Abdul-Malik. Abdul-Malik discusses the relative ease he had in terms of winning his contract on Dana White’s Contender Series. He also shared some of the conversations he had with the boss man following the big win. Then he gets into his preparation for his first fight on the big stage. He gets the quick turnaround to fight Dusko Todorovic at UFC Vegas 100. That short timeframe is fine by him and he couldn’t be more ready to go if he tried.

Caio Machado Interview (28:20)
Closing out this UFC Edmonton edition of TTP is our interview with UFC light heavyweight, Caio Machado. Machado discusses his choice to move down in weight to the 205lbs division.

He also discusses making the move back to Brazil to get ready for this one and how it’ll feel as he returns to Canada – a country that he has citizenship in.
