UFC 289 video: Mike Malott submits Adam Fugitt, completes Canadian sweep in Vancouver

The first UFC card held in Canada since before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak turned out to be a faultless one for the home country fighters.

Mike Malott was the fighter to complete the clean sweep for the Canadian fighters, as Saturday he submitted Adam Fugitt on the pay-per-view main card of UFC 289. The card was held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Malott (10-1-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) clubbed Fugitt (9-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) with a two-punch combination before he sank in a deep guillotine choke. Malott rolled into mount, squeezed, and got the tap.

The win was the fifth for Canada-born fighters Saturday with Marc-Andre Barriault, Jasmine Jasudavicius, Aiemann Zahabi, and Kyle Nelson also victorious at UFC 289.

After the fight, Malott cut a Canada-centric promo on the mic, in which he claimed stake to the event for his home country.

The victory moves Malott’s winning streak to six, while Fugitt picks up a loss after a TKO win over Yusaku Kinoshita in February.
