Mike Malott Interested in Fighting Jack Della Maddalena Next

UFC welterweight contender Mike Malott has signaled his openness to facing Jack Della Maddalena in his next bout, following a dominant knockout victory over Joaquin Buckley at UFC Edmonton. The Canadian, now 8-1 with a five-fight win streak, expressed enthusiasm for a top-10 matchup, though he hinted at a brief break before returning to action.

Meanwhile, Della Maddalena—recently stripped of his UFC welterweight title after back-to-back losses to Islam Makhachev and Carlos Prates—could use a high-profile win to reclaim his standing. Both fighters are set to feature prominently when the UFC returns to Toronto in January 2027 for UFC 336, where Malott has already committed to defending Canada in the Octagon.
