Mike Malott will compete in his home country once again.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans — including Oren Hodak of KOreps — confirmed to MMA Fighting that Malott will face Trevin Giles at UFC Edmonton at Rogers Place on Nov. 2.
Malott returns to action after suffering his first UFC loss in his most recent appearance. “Proper” faced longtime promotional veteran Neil Magny at UFC 297 in January, and after an incredible start, Magny battled through the adversity en route to a third-round TKO win in the final seconds of the fight. Prior to that, Malott picked up stoppage wins over Mickey Gall, Adam Fugitt, and Yohan Lainesse.
Giles hopes to bounce back after getting stopped in his past two fights by Gabriel Bonfim and Carlos Prates. The 32-year-old is set to make his 14th octagon appearance, which includes eight fights at middleweight.
UFC Edmonton is set to be headlined by a flyweight bout between Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield.

War Rose.
Whether it’s “my balls was hot,” “where Ronda Rousey’s fine ass,” the time he pulled his pants down and threw his cup into the crowd, or something else, Derrick Lewis has provided UFC fans with some hilariously memorable post-fight interview moments through the years.
But heading into UFC Fight Night 246, don’t expect another one from “The Black Beast” – or so he says. The reason? Things are getting kind of weird when he’s at his kids’ school.
“This year I’ve been trying to spend a lot of time with my kids at school, and they’re in elementary and stuff like that. And so me going to school and the kids ask me about my balls and things like that, it’s just very uncomfortable, man,” Lewis told reporters, including MMA Junkie, with a laugh at Wednesday’s media day. “I want to change up everything. I’m not even taking my shorts off no more. I didn’t think about the other kids, the other kids’ families watching stuff like that, hearing me talk the way I talk, and me doing stuff I’m doing, so I’m just really trying to clean up my act. Be a class act this weekend, very professional.”
Yeah, OK. We’ll believe it when we (don’t) see it!
