UFC Edmonton fight night event

Overview

The UFC Edmonton fight night at Rogers Place concluded with several notable performances following high-drama weigh-ins where Joaquin Buckley refused to shake hands with Mike Malott and Dana White. In the welterweight main event, Mike Malott secured a major victory by knocking out Joaquin Buckley in the second round. Malott utilized a devastating knee to the head to finish the fight at 2:32 of the second round, extending his winning streak to five and potentially moving him into the top 10 rankings. The knockout left Buckley unconscious and marked his third consecutive loss in the UFC; it was also the first time in nearly four years that Buckley has been finished by knockout. Buckley later reacted to the loss via a live stream on Kick, expressing disbelief at the impact of the strike.

Following the event, Malott officially climbed to the number eight spot in the UFC welterweight rankings. In the women’s flyweight division, Jasmine Jasudavicius rose to the number three position after her unanimous decision victory over Erin Blanchfield.

Regarding future scheduling, the UFC confirmed that UFC 336 will take place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on January 30, 2027. Malott has expressed strong interest in competing at the Toronto event, stating he is ready for a high-level opponent to continue his ascent in the division. Other notable results from the Edmonton card included Marc-Andre Barriault securing a first-round TKO victory over Kyle Daukaus, and Cristian Pérez marking a successful Octagon debut by knocking out Kyle Nelson in 27 seconds. In the lighter weight classes, South Korean fighter Yoo Su-jeong defeated Cody Kovacechek via a third-round Kimura submission.
