UFC Winnipeg weigh-in results: Gilbert Burns’ return set

The Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s return to Canada is now officially set following the UFC Winnipeg weigh-ins.

Headlining the UFC Fight Night event is a welterweight fight between Gilbert Burns and Mike Malott. Both men successfully made weight for the five-round bout, which sees them meet at very different points in their careers. All 12 bouts are now official after every fighter on the card made their contracted weight.

Burns (22-9) enters his latest UFC main event in desperate need of a win. “Durinho” has come up short against the cream of the crop at welterweight as Belal Muhammad, Jack Della Maddalena, Sean Brady and Michael Morales all handily defeated the 39-year-old. The fan-favorite Brazilian fighter will look to show he still has gas in the tank against a less-decorated opponent this weekend and officially weighed 171 pounds on the dot.

Meanwhile, Malott (13-2-1) will look to score the biggest win of his career at 34 years of age. “Proper” has put together a trio of wins that include decisions over Kevin Holland and Trevin Giles, plus a knockout of Charles Radtke. The Canadian also weighed 171 pounds exactly.

UFC Winnipeg will air live on Paramount+ in its entirety on Saturday. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, while the prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
