Mike Malott knocks out Joaquin Buckley at UFC Edmonton as Haggerty and Nadaka retain ONE titles in Tokyo

Mike Malott delivered the biggest win of his career in front of a home crowd at Rogers Place on Saturday, 17 October, knocking out Joaquin Buckley at 2:32 of the second round in the main event of UFC Edmonton. On the same day in Tokyo, Jonathan Haggerty and Nadaka both defended their world titles by stoppage at ONE Samurai 4, capping a busy fight weekend that wrapped up on Sunday morning, Malaysia time.

Malott finishes Buckley in round two

The welterweight headliner pitted Canada's Malott, who came in at 14-2-1, against the heavy-handed American Buckley, who entered at 21-8 with 15 wins by knockout. It was Malott who produced the finishing blow, catching Buckley cleanly early in the second round and ending the fight at 2:32. The impact sent Buckley's mouthpiece flying across the cage.

For Malott, who had six knockouts and six submissions among his wins before Saturday, beating a fighter of Buckley's profile in a main event should push him firmly into the welterweight rankings conversation. For Buckley, the defeat is a significant setback after he was given the chance to headline in his opponent's home country.

Jasudavicius outworks Blanchfield

In the co-main event, Canada's Jasmine Jasudavicius claimed a unanimous decision over American flyweight Erin Blanchfield, with all three judges scoring the fight 29-28. Jasudavicius, 37, controlled long stretches of the bout on the mat, landing repeated takedowns and threatening with submissions, against an opponent who arrived with a 14-2 record.

The result is a major boost for Jasudavicius, who improved to 16-4, and gives the home fans a second big Canadian win at the top of the card.

Fast finishes on the main card

The rest of the main card produced a string of stoppages. Cristian Perez needed just 27 seconds to knock out Kyle Nelson with punches, while Marc-Andre Barriault stopped Kyle Daukaus with strikes at 4:28 of the opening round. Timmy Cuamba submitted Louis Jourdain with a neck crank in round two, and Mandel Nallo bounced back from his previous loss by stopping Nate Landwehr with a leg kick and punches at 47 seconds of the second round.

On the preliminary card, heavyweight Tanner Boser stopped Jhonata Diniz late in the third round, Nick Galanti submitted Julien Leblanc in the first, and Su Young You won by kimura against Cody Chovancek in round three.
