Buckley faces Malott at UFC Edmonton as Blanchfield headlines co-main

All 26 fighters on the UFC Edmonton card completed their official weigh-ins Friday morning in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, setting the stage for Saturday’s event headlined by Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott.

Buckley and Malott must each come in at no more than 171 pounds for their non-title welterweight main event. Buckley enters the fight under pressure, having dropped back-to-back bouts to Sean Brady and Kamaru Usman while clinging to the No. 14 spot in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings. Malott, fighting on home soil in Canada, arrives on a four-fight winning streak and will be looking to capitalise on Buckley’s recent skid.

The co-main event features a flyweight clash between Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius, both required to make the 126-pound limit. Blanchfield is ranked No. 9 in the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound Rankings, while Jasudavicius holds the No. 19 position — making this a matchup with genuine divisional implications despite its non-title billing.

The main card also features Kyle Nelson vs. Cristian Perez, Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Kyle Daukaus, Louis Jourdain vs. Timmy Cuamba, and Mandel Nallo vs. Nate Landwehr.

On the preliminary card, Tanner Boser meets Jhonata Diniz in a heavyweight contest, while the undercard is rounded out by bouts involving Julien Leblanc, Nick Galanti, Javad Mahjoub, Joel Faglier, Katlyn Cerminara, Mackenzie Stiller, Chad Anheliger, Steven Koslow, Melissa Croden, Chelsea Chandler, Cody Chovancek, and SuYoung You.

The official weigh-ins took place at 11 a.m. ET, with ceremonial weigh-ins scheduled for 7 p.m. ET.
