1 week agoMultiple Fights Confirmed for UFC Winnipeg on April 18
Mike Malott receives his first UFC headlining opportunity against Gilbert Burns at UFC Winnipeg on April 18 in Winnipeg, Canada.
The UFC's April 18 Canadian date will not take place in Ottawa, as previously expected, but Winnipeg. Promotion officials made the announcement on Friday, confirming a long-expected match-up between welterweights Gilbert Burns (22-9) and Mike Malott (13-2-1) as the card's main event. Previously, Ottawa had been confirmed by multiple sources and event stated publicly by fighters including Mitch Raposo. Instead of the Canadian capital, the promotion will touch down in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the first time since 2017, and just the third time overall.
