Main event: Joaquin Buckley vs Mike Malott
Joaquin Buckley (21-8) is ranked 10th at welterweight and is one of the division’s most dangerous punchers, but his last two fights have gone the wrong way. Kamaru Usman beat him on a unanimous decision in June 2025, ending a six-fight winning streak, and Sean Brady outwrestled him over three rounds at UFC 328 in May, holding him to four significant strikes.
Mike Malott (14-2-1) is ranked 13th and comes in on a four-fight winning streak, the latest a third-round TKO of Gilbert Burns in Winnipeg in April, when he dropped Burns twice before finishing him on the ground. He fights in Canada again, and he is the more accurate striker on the numbers, landing 48% of his significant strikes to Buckley’s 36%. Buckley has the better takedown defence on paper, stopping about 70% of attempts to Malott’s 57%.
Our read. The market makes Malott a slight favourite, and we agree. He is in form, at home and more accurate, while Buckley has struggled to get his offence going in both recent losses. Buckley’s power means he is never out of a fight, so if you want to back the underdog, a Buckley win by knockout is the way to do it rather than on points.
Best bet: Mike Malott to win.
Co-main event: Erin Blanchfield vs Jasmine Jasudavicius
Erin Blanchfield, ranked fourth at flyweight, has wins over Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez, and her only UFC loss is to Manon Fiorot. Jasmine Jasudavicius, ranked sixth, is the home fighter and has won six of her last seven, with Fiorot again the only fighter to beat her in that run. The bout was moved to Edmonton from UFC 330 after Blanchfield was injured.
Our read. Blanchfield is the clear favourite and the right pick, but at about $1.30 to $1.45 she is better as a multi leg than a single.
Buckley vs Malott odds

The rest of the main card
Four more bouts complete the main card: Kyle Nelson vs Cristian Perez and Mandel Nallo vs Nate Landwehr at lightweight, Marc-Andre Barriault vs Kyle Daukaus at middleweight and Louis Jourdain vs Timmy Cuamba at bantamweight. Barriault and Jourdain are Canadian, so expect the crowd behind them.
