In a one-sided matchup at UFC 315, Canadian welterweight Mike Malott showed remarkable emotional control against Charles 'Chuck Buffalo' Radtke. Radtke attempted to provoke Malott with controversial rhetoric but failed to unsettle him, resulting in a knockout victory for Malott. Post-fight, Malott emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and not letting external pressures dictate performance, stating that true control comes from within. Despite moments of calmness, Malott's strategy paid off, ultimately leading him to a definitive win in the octagon.
Radtke certainly did try, adopting Donald Trump's "51st state" rhetoric ahead of his showdown with small town all-Canadian boy Malott.
For Malott, being in control of his own emotions was key. "Everything could have gotten to me or to anyone. Anything can get to anybody, you can let stuff get to you."
