Face off! Gilbert Burns meets Mike Malott in least enthusiastic staredown of all time | UFC Winnipeg
TL;DR
Gilbert Burns and Mike Malott will headline UFC Winnipeg on April 18, 2026, but their recent staredown lacked enthusiasm, reflecting a general disinterest in the fight card. Fans are not showing much excitement for the event at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns and streaking 170-pound Canadian bruiser Mike Malott will headline the upcoming UFC Winnipeg MMA event on Paramount+, locked and loaded for this Sat. night (April 18, 2026) at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Fans haven’t been showing much excitement for this weekend’s fight card (see it here) and neither are Burns and Malott, who came face-to-face in the least enthusiastic staredown in recent memory. I guess UFC CEO Dana White isn’t the only one who’s checked out these days.
Then again, it’s hard to be motivated when wins and losses no longer matter.
A trip on LSD would certainly liven things up.
The 39 year-old Burns (22-9) is looking to bounce back from a brutal knockout loss to welterweight wunderkind Michael Morales at UFC Vegas 106, his fourth straight loss dating back to early 2023. As for Malott (13-2-1), 34, he’s 6-1 since graduating Dana White’s “Contender Series” back in late 2021 and is currently the winner of three straight, including his unanimous decision victory over Kevin Holland last fall in Vancouver.
