Short Preview

On April 18, 2026, welterweight contenders Gilbert Burns and Mike Malott will meet in a highly anticipated matchup at Burns’ home venue. Both fighters enter the octagon with a clean slate, having not competed in any recent matches, which adds a layer of uncertainty to the bout.

Gilbert Burns, known for his Brazilian jiu-jitsu proficiency and grappling skills, will look to leverage his home advantage. His experience within the UFC octagon could play a crucial role, especially if the fight goes to the ground, where he can capitalize on his submission game. Burns has demonstrated resilience and technical striking in the past, making him a formidable opponent.

On the other hand, Mike Malott, while less seasoned in high-stakes environments, brings an aggressive striking style coupled with a tenacious grappling approach. This combination may pose challenges for Burns, particularly if he can keep the fight standing and capitalize on any defensive lapses.

Bookmakers place Burns as the underdog with odds of 4.89, compared to Malott’s favored odds of 1.18. As both fighters prepare for this encounter, the lack of recent competitive action renders predictions difficult. It will be crucial to observe how each athlete adapts and utilizes their strengths in this encounter.
