TORONTO – Mike Malott is fully aware of the opportunity in front of him against Neil Magny at UFC 297.
In his his fourth octagon appearance, Malott (10-1-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) gets paired up with the man who holds the UFC welterweight record for most fights and wins in Neil Magny (28-11 MMA, 21-10 UFC). The matchup is part of the main card, which takes place at Scotiabank Arena and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+
A victory would officially put Malott on the map in the weight class, and that’s his goal. He’s not worried about the career achievements of his upcoming opponent, but rather what Magny, who is No. 13 in the latest UFC rankings, represents in terms of a name on his resume moving forward.
