UFC Edmonton crashed last night (Saturday, October 17, 2026) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and saw Mike Malott deliver a highlight reel knockout through Joaquin Buckley in the featured match (see it again here). Co-star Jasmine Jasudavicius defeated Erin Blanchfield by unanimous decision (summary here), at the same time Christian Perez gave himself an impressive debut with a knockout Kyle Nelson in just 27 seconds.
Who should he fight next: Sean Brady vs. Gabriel Bonfim winner
Malott secured the biggest win of his UFC career thanks to a crushing knockout victory over Buckleywhich takes him out of the Top 5 next week. Matching him with the winner of the upcoming showdown between Brady and Bonfim could be a good idea. Brady is currently ranked #5 while Bonfim is ranked #6. I expect Malott to take over at #7 so both matchups would make senseand it could go down at UFC 336.
Winner: Jasmine Jasudavicius
Who should he face next: Zhang Weili
Alexa Grasso is probably the first choice Natalia Silva in what would be the newly crowned champion’s first title defense, so Jasudavicius will have to face the next best thing, which is Weili, who is currently ranked 5th in the division. Another option could be a rematch against Manon Fiorotwho beat Jasudavicius last year but will lose to Grasso. Right now, Weili seems to be the best choice to give Jasudavicius another chance to prove he deserves a title shot.
Who he should face next: Mike Davis
Perez made an explosive UFC debut with knockouts Kyle Nelson in 27 seconds lock a post fight bonus award. The Mexican-born fighter is looking to keep his momentum going in his sophomore year, but it’s still a slow and steady approach. That’s why the fight with the long-time veteran, Mike Daviscould be fine. Davis has been fighting for the promotion for six years now, but hasn’t gained much traction in that time. He is coming off a tough loss Nurullo Alievwhich puts him at 1-2 in his last three games.
Winner: Marc-André Barriault
Who he should face next: Cody Brundage
Barriault saved his spot on the UFC roster for a little longer last night after being defeated Kyle Daukaus in the year first round via TKOsnapping his two-game skid. That’s why the fight against another struggling middleweight in form Cody Brundage could be fine. Brundage came off a three-fight losing streak earlier this year Andre Petroski via TKO, his first win in over a year, before going 0-3-1 last night.
Who should he face next: Victor Henry
Cuamba was able to return to the winning column with an impressive victory Louis Jourdain through submission. The slight bantamweight is 3-1 in his last four fights, so I wouldn’t mind seeing him face someone with a similar run. Henry fits the bill perfectly, as he too got back in the win column in defeat in his last outing Pedro Falcao earlier this year. He is 2-1-1 in his last four matches inside the Octagon.
