Mike Malott, Jake Paul and Fans Donate to MMA Coach's Daughter Diagnosed with Cancer

Mike Malott had more to celebrate from UFC than just his first-round TKO of Mickey Gall.

In his post-fight interview in the Octagon, Malott used the opportunity to draw attention to the daughter of coach Joey Rodriguez who has been diagnosed with cancer. He asked fans to donate money toward the cause.

The Canadian told reporters that fans inside VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena began giving him money as he left the arena floor.
