derailed his title hopes. The 32-year-old will try to get back on track against the Canadian and weighed in at 170.5 pounds for his third UFC main event.
Meanwhile, Malott (14-2-1) is looking to earn the biggest win of his career in his second UFC title. “Proper” is on a four-fight winning streak that includes a TKO victory Gilbert Burns. At 34, the Team Alpha Male fighter must run now or never. Malott also weighed 170.5 pounds.
