Mike Malott: The Rising Star of UFC
Canadian MMA fighter, Mike Malott, is set to showcase his skills on the main card of UFC 297. The welterweight bout against Neil Magny is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Jan. 20, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
Malott, a promising prospect in the 170-pound division, has been on a remarkable six-fight win streak. Since securing his contract with the UFC in October 2021, he has won all three of his appearances, including a dominant 39-second submission win over Shimon Smotritsky on ‘Dana White’s Contender Series’.
However, in the unpredictable world of MMA, maintaining an undefeated record is a rare feat. Malott faced his only loss at WSOF 14 in October 2014 against Hakeem Dawodu. Despite this setback, Malott has bounced back stronger and is determined to prove himself as one of the best welterweights in the division.
The Battle at UFC 297

While fighting at home in Toronto provides a sense of comfort for Malott, it also brings its own unique pressure. However, Malott remains unfazed and confident in his abilities. In a recent media interaction, he stated, "What pressure dude? On Saturday night, I’m going to have 20 thousand people chanting for me and screaming my name. That’s support, not pressure. This is a privilege, not pressure. I’ve been preparing for this moment my whole life."
Malott’s Journey and Future
Malott made his professional MMA debut in April 2011 and has since amassed an impressive record of 10-1-1. With a perfect UFC record of 3-0, Malott has established himself as a rising star in the welterweight division.
