UFC Winnipeg Preview

UFC Winnipeg’s main event on Saturday night is Gilbert Burns vs. Mike Malott in the Welterweight division. Perennial contender, Burns, is on a four-fight losing streak after UFC decided to use him to blood the up-and-comers. Malott, meanwhile, has won his last three and he’s the favorite to get the win here, much to the delight of the partisan crowd (Malott hails from Burlington, Ontario, a full timezone away from Winnipeg).

Our co-main event has another surging Canadian. Charles Jourdain is perfect (2-0) since he moved down to Bantamweight. He’ll look for his third win in the division, taking on . “The Matrix” is winless (0-2) since UFC adjusted the difficulty level on his match-making.
