Draws Malott in Edmonton
Giles will take on Mike Malott in a welterweight matchup at UFC Edmonton on November 2, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Giles needs to bounce back in a major way following back-to-back stoppage defeats, most recently falling to a red-hot prospect in Carlos Prates via second-round finish in February. The UFC is doing him no favors with this matchup, as he'll head to enemy territory to face the Canadian-born Malott. Giles concedes a slight striking volume edge to Malott, though he's a bit better defensively. The wrestling edge, at least in terms of takedown volume, leans heavily towards Malott.

Struggles continue in Vegas
Giles lost to Carlos Prates via KO (punch) at 4:03 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Giles' UFC run has been marred by inconsistency. Not just on a fight-by-fight basis, but on a round-by-round basis. Giles was up 10-9 on all three scorecards and was well on his way to winning Round 2 before getting knocked out cold with a left hand from Prates with less than a minute left in the second frame. The biggest concern for Trevin at this point is his sudden lack of durability. He has just three knockout defeats in his pro career, but they've all come in his past six (2-4) fights. Giles' roster spot may very well be on the line his next time out.

Set to fight Prates

Lasts 73 seconds in Salt Lake City
Giles lost to Gabriel Bonfim via submission (guillotine choke) at 1:13 of Round 1 at UFC 291 on Saturday in Salt Lake City.
ANALYSIS
Giles' brief, two-fight winning streak came to an end in dramatic and overwhelming fashion. Trevin was slammed to the mat by Bonfim not long after the opening bell rang and while trying to get back to his feet, left his neck exposed. He briefly tried to eradicate himself from the situation, but quickly knew the gig was up. Set to turn 32 years of age next week, Giles is 2-3 in his past five fights, although all three of those setbacks came against a rising star in Bonfim, one of the best young prospects in the world in Michael Morales and a future 185-pound title challenger in Dricus Du Plessis.

Bonfim fight scheduled
Giles will fight Gabriel Bonfim in a welterweight bout at UFC 291 in Salt Lake City on July 29, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Giles, coming off decision wins over Louis Cosce and Preston Parsons, has a chance of improving his winning streak to three. Perhaps beneficiary to Giles, his next opponent has never fought a full three rounds. However, the downside is that Bonfim finished all 14 of his opponents without needing a third round.
