UFC Fight Night features former welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns facing Mike Malott on Saturday, April 18, live from Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, MB.
Brazil’s 39-year-old Burns (22-9) looks to bounce back from four straight losses, having been stopped by Michael Morales in his previous bout last May. Canada’s 34-year-old Malott (13-2-1) earned a unanimous decision over Kevin Holland last October, securing his third consecutive win.
The co-main event is a bantamweight bout between Kyler Phillips (12-4) of Torrance, California, and Charles Jourdain (17-8-1) of Canada. Phillips, 30, comes off a pair of losses to Vinicius Oliveira and Rob Font. Jourdain, 30, won two of his previous bouts by submission against Davey Grant and Victor Henry.
