Buckley will attempt to get his first win in two years after struggling back-to-back losses to Kamaru Usman and Sean Brady one 12 months aside. Clearly, Buckley has not been the most lively fighter in the division — this will be just his second struggle in 2026. “New Mansa,” at one level, was driving high with six straight wins, including defeating Colby Covington, which was seemingly placing him on the cusp for potential title struggle consideration. But, then he lost to former division champion, Usman, knocking him down a few pegs. His follow-up defeat to Brady only made issues worse, and now he finds himself ranked No. 8 with two defeats, placing him out of attain of championship struggle consideration. That said, he still has time — and the expertise — to put collectively a decent-enough run to get back in the combine, and doing it with a win over someone like Malott, is a great way to get the ball rolling.

Speaking of Malott, he has quietly been placing collectively a good run over the last few years, profitable 4 straight to secure an spectacular 7-1 report under UFC’s banner. During that run, he earned large wins over Kevin Holland and Gilbert Burns, among others. Now, “Proper” is hoping to lock down the largest win of his profession in his first-ever UFC essential occasion … on home soil. He is at present sitting proper outside of the Top 10 in the No. 11 spot, so a win over Buckley will get him in. He has proven he is not afraid to throw down wherever the struggle goes, scoring six knockouts to go along with six submissions — which is as well-rounded as you can get. He will need to have all of his instruments on deck if he desires to defeat Buckley; however, taking it to the ground may be his best wager for victory. That said, “New Mansa” has never been defeated with a submission, with just 4 of his losses coming by method of knockout. What that tells us is Buckley prefers to stand and bang, which could be a harmful sport to play for Malott.

Original Card Vs. Actual Card/Injuries

A ladies’s Flyweight bout between Katlyn Cerminara vs. Jamey-Lyn Horth was scheduled for the occasion before Horth had to withdraw with an harm and was changed by promotional newcomer, Mackenzie Stiller. In addition, a Heavyweight bout between UFC rookie, Javad Mahjoub, versus Louie Sutherland was initially scheduled at the occasion; however, Sutherland pulled out and was changed by fellow newcomer, Joel Faglier. Furthermore, a Middleweight bout between Julien Leblanc vs. Gilbert Urbina was scheduled to go down on this card before Urbina withdrew for undisclosed causes and was in the end changed by Contender Series graduate, Nick Galanti.

New Blood:

Cristian Perez will finally get his probability to shine under UFC’s banner after spending the last seven years proving his price on the regional circuit, which contains an prolonged run with Combate Americas. He did come up short in his struggle on Contender Series, but he has bounced back with two knockout wins of his own to earn a shot. He will face off against Kyle Nelson, who was last seen getting knockout by in 26 seconds by Terrance McKinney (see it here).

The aforementioned Stiller made her skilled combined martial arts (MMA) debut just three years in the past and now finds herself with a late alternative to shine in her Octagon debut. She is at present 6-1 and with 5 first spherical submissions to her credit. She will battle former title challenger, Katlyn Chookagian-Cerminara, who comes in with two straight losses.

Joel Faglier vs. Javad Mouhoub will make their respective promotional debuts against each other in a 265-pound matchup of promising contenders. Mouhoub — who hails from Iran — is coming in with a good (5-0) report, which contains 4 first spherical stoppages (three knockouts and one submission). As for Faglier, he is also undefeated (6-0) with 5 finishes, 4 in the opening body. This one should not last long.

Galanti will also make his UFC debut tonight when he battles Julien Leblanc. Galanti comes in with a skilled report 8-1 with six stoppage wins, incomes his method onto the large show thanks to a 35-second knockout win on Contender Series. Also, Cody Chovancek is another Contender Series alum who is hoping to begin his UFC profession on the proper foot as he takes on Su Young You, who is coming off submission defeat at the arms of Elija Smith, snapping his six-fight unbeaten streak. As for Chovancek, he is good (9-0) with six stoppages.

Louis Jourdain — who earned his method onto the large show via Contender Series — will come in with a four-fight win streak when he makes his debut against Timothy Cuamba, who is coming off a submission loss at the arms of Bernardo Sopai, bringing his report to 2-3 total.

How The ‘Prelims’ Look:

In Heavyweight motion, Tanner Boser vs. Jhonata Diniz throw down in a struggle that may not make it out of the first spherical. Boser has 12 knockouts on his resume, while Diniz has seven, making them prime candidates to lock down a post-fight bonus award.

In ladies’s Bantamweight motion, Canadian-born Melissa Croden will throw down against American fighter Chelsea Chandler. Croden is 2-1 so far under UFC’s banner (8-3 total), while Chandler comes in with an even 3-3 report.

Chad Anheliger hasn’t precisely had the best run under UFC’s banner, racking up a subpar 1-3 report in his first 4 fights, including his most current loss at the arms of Cody Gibson, which really came two years in the past. He is back after a long layoff to face Steven Koslow, who is coming off an even larger break with his last struggle coming in Dec. 2022, a loss at the arms of Cameron Saaiman. Both males need a win in a large method.

Who Needs A Win Badly:

Nate Landwehr has seen batter days inside the Octagon. “The Train” is at present on a three-fight dropping streak, dropping 4 of his last 5 fights total. To make issues worse, all three of his most current losses have come by method of knockout. If he loses one more — particularly if he gets stopped — when he faces Mandel Nallo, then this could very nicely be the finish of the UFC street for him.

Interest Level: 5.5/10

In the co-main occasion, Blanchfield vs. Jasudavicius will throw down to see who improves their place in the Top 5 of the ladies’s Flyweight division (see newest rankings order here), which just lately topped a new champion in Natalia Silva. Blanchfield is at present seeded No. 3 and is driving a two-fight win streak into this pivotal showdown. In her most current win, she defeated Tracy Cortez via submission (see it here), which was preceded by a resolution win over Rose Namajunas. A win for her can get her to a title struggle.

Marc-Andre Barriault is in determined need of a win, having lost three straight and 5 of six total under UFC’s umbrella. Granted, he has had a very robust schedule, but he still wants to get a win when he battles Kyle Daukaus because it will be very onerous for the promotion to justify conserving him around with 4 straight defeats. Daukaus, meanwhile, is hungry for a win since he was stopped by Bo Nickal (relive that here) this previous summer time at the historic UFC Freedom 250 occasion at the White House.
