TORONTO – Mike Malott sees his UFC 297 fight vs. Neil Magny as his chance to break into the welterweight rankings and take his career to the next level.
After opening his octagon tenure with three consecutive stoppage victories, Malott (10-1-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) was paired up with all-time divisional wins leader Magny (28-11 MMA, 21-10 UFC) on the Jan. 20 pay-per-view card, which takes place at Scotiabank Arena.
Magny has a proven track record of being willing to take on potential rising stars at 170 pounds, and he’s derailed the hype on multiple occasions. Malott will be the next to try his luck, and he fully expects a breakthrough showcase.
