Mike Malott Addresses Joaquin Buckley’s Comments Ahead of UFC Edmonton

Ahead of their main event showdown at UFC Edmonton this weekend, Mike Malott has responded to comments made by Joaquin Buckley regarding his status as a headline act in Canada. Buckley recently questioned Malott's drawing power and popularity within the Canadian market. In response, Malott dismissed the suggestion, stating, 'He would never headline in Canada without me.' Malott, an Ontario native, has become a fixture for the promotion during their visits to Canada, appearing on high-profile domestic cards regardless of geographical proximity to his home province. The bout, which serves as the anchor for the promotion's return to Edmonton, has seen both fighters trade barbs as they prepare for a pivotal clash in the welterweight division. Malott remains focused on the task at hand, emphasizing that his inclusion in Canadian events is a testament to his professional standing rather than solely market dynamics. The pair will settle the debate inside the octagon this Saturday night.
