Mike Malott’s MMA career has been one of fits and starts. His first two pro fights came in 2011. He then fought once in 2013, twice in 2014, once in 2015 and once in 2017. A three-year break followed before he competed in 2020 under the Cage Fury banner. The UFC then gave him a shot on the Dana White Contender Series in 2021. With a speedy submission win in that fight, Malott earned a UFC contract. The 30-year-old Canadian welterweight makes his official UFC debut at UFC 273 against Mickey Gall.
Malott might be a recognizable face to those who pay attention to the coaches who corner other fighters.
