Mandel Nallo says patience learned from debut loss paid off at UFC Edmonton

After a 14-year professional career marked by a single setback, Mandel Nallo secured his first UFC victory at age 37 during Saturday’s event in Edmonton. Facing Nate Landwehr in a lightweight bout at UFC Edmonton, Nallo delivered a dominant performance, finishing the veteran with a TKO to claim the win.

The victory came just months after Nallo suffered a TKO loss to Jai Herbert, underscoring his resilience and the lessons drawn from that early setback. Meanwhile, the event also crowned Mike Malott as the night’s standout performer, earning a $100,000 bonus for his second-round knockout of Joaquin Buckley in the main event.

The UFC’s return to Rogers Place featured multiple fighters collecting performance bonuses, highlighting a strong showing from Canada’s top talent.
