LAS VEGAS – Mike Malott would rather not fight a fellow Canadian but is happy they get the platform at UFC Fight Night 220 . Ontario’s Malott (8-1-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) meets Quebec’s Yohan Lainesse (9-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on Saturday’s main card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The card streams on ESPN+. With only a few active Canadian UFC fighters on the roster, Malott sees his fight with Lainesse also as a chance to display their country’s talent on the big stage. “Yeah, it’s unfortunate I’m fighting another Canadian,” Malott told reporters, including MMA Junkie, on Wednesday at UFC Fight Night 220 media day.
