Mike Malott ended the long career of Gilbert Burns, stopping the former welterweight title challenger with strikes in the third round of the UFC Winnipeg main event. It’s the signature win that Malott has been looking for, but will it be enough to make him a legitimate contender at 170 pounds? Following UFC Winnipeg, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee react to Malott’s “Proper” entrance into the welterweight rankings and where he goes from here. Additionally, Meshew and Lee discuss Burn’s career and retirement, the rest of the UFC Winnipeg action, RAF 8, Arman Tsarukyan going wild again, and more.
