Yohan Lainesse predicts knockout of Mike Malott: ‘When I touch, people fall’

LAS VEGAS – Yohan Lainesse has a pretty good idea of what he’s capable of, and he thinks he knows how things are going to go Saturday.

Lainesse (9-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) opens up the UFC Fight Night 220 main card with a welterweight bout against Mike Malott (8-1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC). It will be a battle between two Canadians with a lot of promise, but Lainesse is looking to halt that promise for Malott.

With two-thirds of his wins by knockout, Lainesse says that’s exactly what is about to happen to Malott.

Check out Lainesse’s full pre-fight media day interview in the video above.
