Preview:
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight standouts Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott 4/18/26 will square off TONIGHT inside Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, for UFC Winnipeg.
Burns, a former 170-pound title challenger, finds himself in that difficult position where he’s on an unprecedented losing streak against only outstanding opposition. He may have lost four in a row, but the lowest-ranked fighter on that list is No. 6-seeded Sean Brady. The fast-rising Canadian has won six of seven since joining UFC’s roster in 2022, making his way into the Top 15, while scoring some impressive finishes along the way. This is a big step up for “Proper” Mike, who’s aiming for a statement victory in front of a home-type crowd. Despite his world-class jiu-jitsu, Burns is a fairly straightforward fighter. He explodes into big kicks, big overhands and big double leg takedowns, crashing into his opposition in a very physical fashion. If able to gain top position, Burns’ grappling mastery is on display.
Wrestling feels like the path to victory here. Malott is the more refined striker and has an edge in height and reach as well. Burns is going to have to close that gap and gain the hips, because he’ll have a real advantage if able to ground Malott. The Canadian may be a jiu-jitsu black belt himself, but he’s nowhere near as decorated as “Durinho.” Malott is a very smooth customer in all facets of the game. His kickboxing attack comprises powerful round kicks from both legs and smart switch-hitting combinations. His clinch wrestling has proven very effective in the cage thus far, and the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt is quite nasty if able to get on a front choke.
If Burns’ goal is to close distance and wrestle, it makes sense that Malott conversely will want to maintain his range and deny the shot. This is where Malott’s combination building will be so valuable. He does really good work in getting his opponents moving off the threat of his power kicks and then instead cracking them with punches. That should work great against Burns, as it’s very difficult to shoot once already retreating. Otherwise, Malott should look at what’s worked previously versus “Durinho.” There’s plenty of tape available to on the long-time UFC veteran. Notably, Burns has been hurt on numerous occasions by stiff jabs, as he likes to step forward with wide swings. If his big step forward is interrupted by the jab, it tends to hurt real bad. Lastly, Malott should definitely up the aggression and aim to hurt his opponent early. Burns’ confidence is low given his losing streak, so it would be risky to let him gain a foothold in the fight and rebuild momentum.
This very much appears to be a case of out with the old, in with the new. Burns’ grappling is a threat in just about any matchup. There’s always a chance he takes down Malott early and wraps up a quick tap. Given Malott’s own grappling credentials and the fact that Burns has only scored one tapout this decade, a quick submission doesn’t feel like a massive threat. More likely, Malott stings Burns with something early on, the Brazilian starts to question himself, and the Winnipeg crowd urges him on to an early knockout. There is a different kind of pressure attached to this fight than Malott’s Toronto homecoming at UFC 297, where he was up 2-0 on Neil Magny before faltering and getting finished. He’s a better fighter than he was then, without question, but Burns is more accomplished and dangerous than Magny, so this is even higher stakes. Writing the Brazilian off heading into this one based on his recent results and age would be a mistake and a win would still be a massive triumph for the headlining Ontario boy.
