Remains perfect in UFC
Malott defeated Adam Fugitt via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:06 of Round 2 at UFC 289 on Saturday in Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
Easy work. Entering as a -210 favorite in his native Canada, Malott dominated from bell-to-bell. He started off by pounding Fugitt on the feet, particularly with leg kicks to the body. He eventually dropped him early in Round 2 with a beautiful one-two combination before immediately jumping on Fugitt's neck and choking him out. The dominant effort would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus when it was all said and done. Set to turn 32 years of age this coming November, Malott is older than your typical "prospect", but with three straight stoppage wins to begin his UFC run, he deserves a significant step up in competition his next time out. Malott has one career loss, that being a knockout against fellow UFC fighter Hakeem Dawodu back in their WSOF (PFL) days in October 2014.

Strong run continues
Malott defeated Yohan Lainesse via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
We're going to have to see how Malott fares against better competition, but he couldn't have looked any better in his first two UFC bouts. After scoring a first-round knockout win over Mickey Gall in his company debut last April, Malott was up to his old tricks once again against Lainesse. He dominated on the feet in the early going before beautifully tripping his opponent and forcing him to the mat. He controlled Lainesse from them and clamped on the arm-triangle choke which forced the tap out. "Proper" Mike is unquestionably a fighter to keep an eye on at 170 pounds as 2023 progresses. In the meantime, he'll take home one of six $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening.
