TORONTO – Mike Malott is totally mindful of the chance in front of him versus Neil Magny at UFC 297.
In his his 4th octagon look, Malott (10-1-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) gets paired up with the male who holds the UFC welterweight record for most battles and wins in Neil Magny (28-11 MMA, 21-10 UFC). The match is part of the primary card, which takes location at Scotiabank Arena and airs on pay-per-view listbelow prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+
A success would formally put Malott on the map in the weight class, and that’s his objective. He’s not concerned about the profession accomplishments of his upcoming challenger, however rather what Magny, who is No. 13 in the newest UFC rankings, represents in terms of a name on his resume moving forward.
“I think it’s the most juice for the capture in the department,” Malott informed MMA Junkie and other pressreporters at Wednesday’s UFC 297 media day. “I’m getting the more widelyknown guy for the position I’m in. … I see No.13 That’s what I see. I see an chance to beat this guy, stop this guy and get a number nextto my name. And assoonas I get that number nextto my name, I’m on the ladder,
