In the main event of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night, we get 2 top 15 welterweights in the world competing. Both men are no stranger to getting a finish in their fights over their careers, and this one could be just another finish added to both men’s records. Joaquin Buckley will go head-to-head with Mike Malott to close out the card.
Buckley is coming off back-to-back losses to Kamaru Usman and Sean Brady. Both of those opponents are two of the top opponents in the division, and while they were still losses, they allowed Buckley to gain valuable experience. He is still ranked inside the top 10, and if he is able to pull off the victory here, he could slide back into the top 5.
Malott is 10-1 in his last 11 fights and has won 4 straight over the last 2 years. Neil Magny is the only man to defeat him during his time in the UFC. But since that loss, all Malott has done is collect victories over UFC veterans. Giles, Radtke, Holland, and Burns have all fallen victim to Malott on his current winning streak. Buckley will be another veteran who stands between Malott and a top-10 ranking.

Our Joaquin Buckley vs Mike Malott Prediction
Malott is the favorite in this matchup but will be tested by Buckley’s speed and power. We think this fight lines up for what could be a fight of the night contender, with both men having the background and ability to finish the other. We lean toward Malott to pick up the win, but Buckley is always dangerous, and on a 2-fight losing streak, he will be hungry to get back in the win column.
