Mike Malott
Proper
Canada
Dismantles Burns in main event
Malott defeated Gilbert Burns via TKO (punches) at 2:08 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night 273 on Saturday in Winnipeg.
ANALYSIS
Mallot took his time in this one, making sure to evade the powerful strikes of his opponent while popping his jab and circling back to the center of the cage. It was only a matter of time before frustration set in, which forced the Brazilian to overextend. Mallot was there to greet him with a shot that signaled the beginning of the end. "Proper" also defended all seven takedown attempts from Burns, showing how prepared he was for the former title challenger. Malott has hit a few stumbling blocks in his climb up the rankings, but power, patience, and an all-around skill set should help the Canadian's cause. He moved to 14-2-1 in professional MMA as a result of the victory and will go home with an extra $100,000 after being awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.

Earns biggest win of career
Malott defeated Kevin Holland via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Vancouver.
ANALYSIS
It's the biggest win of Malott's career, although it came under what we will term "unusual" circumstances. Malott clipped Holland with two low blows in Round 1. Both were accidental, but the second was so severe that Holland needed to take the entire five minutes to "recover." He continued to fight but was clearly severely hampered the rest of the way. When you take into consideration how compromised his opponent was, Malott's performance was fairly middling, but he did enough to win, and that's all that really matters. The Canadian improves to 6-1 in the UFC and the lone setback was a fight against Neil Magny in which Malott dominated the entire time before being knocked out with 15 seconds left.

Facing Kevin Holland
Malott will take on Kevin Holland in a middleweight bout at UFC Vancouver on October 18, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Malott is off to quite the start in his UFC career, with a 5-1 record and winning his last two bouts. He most recently took care of Charles Radtke in the second round of a fight back in May. Holland is way more experienced that Malott and gives up two inches of height and eight inches of reach, but Malott looks like the more consistent fighter.

Another strong performance
Malott defeated Charlie Radtke via KO (punches) at 0:26 of Round 2 at UFC 315 on Saturday in Montreal.
ANALYSIS
Fighting in his native Canada for a second straight time, Malott put forth another strong effort as a -220 favorite. He got the better of Radtke in what was a fairly uneventful Round 1 before earning the stoppage early in Round 2. It began with one left hand and finished with a few vicious follow-up shots. Malott will be 34 years of age in November, so he's too old to be considered a prospect, but he now has wins in five of his first six UFC bouts. The lone setback was a fight against Neil Magny in which he dominated early on before gassing and getting finished with 15 seconds left. There's still some potential long-term upside here.
