Joaquin Buckley vs Mike Malott headlines UFC Edmonton with Erin Blanchfield vs Jasmine Jasudavicius rebooked
After putting together 4 consecutive wins at welterweight, Mike Malott has received one other big important event opportunity on home soil.
It was made official on July 28 that he’ll face Joaquin Buckley within the important event of UFC Edmonton at Rogers Place on October 17.
Before his one-sided loss to Sean Brady in May, Buckley said he expected to be cut from the roster if he suffered consecutive defeats.
The co-main event has also been announced, with one other Canadian who secured an enormous win in Winnipeg earlier this 12 months making her return.
It was recently reported that the flyweight clash between Jasmine Jasudavicius and Erin Blanchfield would not be happening on August 15 in Philadelphia.
It was suggested at the moment that the matchup can be rescheduled for a later date because of an injury to Blanchfield, with this now being confirmed for Edmonton.
Each women are coming off wins after rebounding from setbacks against the identical opponent, former title challenger Manon Fiorot.
One among the opposite top Canadian fighters who shared the cardboard with Malott and Jasudavicius earlier this 12 months, Charles Jourdain, is currently booked for UFC 331 in September.
