EDMONTON — Mike Malott delivered the biggest win and biggest highlight of his UFC career with a stunning second-round knockout of Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Edmonton, providing the 12th finish of the night on a finish-heavy Fight Night card.
Fighting in front of his home country, the Canadian welterweight extended his winning run to five straight victories and sparked fresh debate over his ceiling at 170 pounds. On MMA Fighting’s UFC Edmonton post-fight show, hosts Mike Heck and Jed Meshew reacted to the performance, questioning whether “Proper” is now a perennial top-10 welterweight or a legitimate title threat, while also assessing where Buckley goes next following his third straight loss.
The co-main event also drew significant attention as Jasmine Jasudavicius secured a huge upset win against Erin Blanchfield. The result dominated discussion on the post-fight show, with the panel suggesting Blanchfield’s hopes of challenging for UFC gold may have suffered a potentially decisive setback.
Beyond the headliner, the card was defined by its relentless finishing rate, with Malott’s knockout capping a night full of stoppages and standout moments. The evening built on earlier home success, including Tanner Boser’s dominant hometown TKO over Rodrigo Diniz, and the full post-fight reaction is available to watch above, with an audio-only version also streaming on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify and other platforms.
