Mike Malott steps up ascent, storms past Gilbert Burns in UFC Winnipeg headliner

"Charles Jourdain outlasted Kyler Phillips to a unanimous decision in their competitive three-round bantamweight co-main event. All three cageside judges scored it the same: 29-28 for Jourdain."
"Jourdain uncorked front kicks to the body, flying knees and some stellar dirty boxing at close range. He also carved out a significant gash above Phillips' left eye, leaned on his get-up game and pressed the issue from start to finish."
