Neil Magny vs Mike Malott Prediction: the Canadian Fighter Will Finish Off the Veteran

UFC 297 will occur on the night of January 21st in Toronto. In one of the main bouts, the MMA veteran will face a threat from Canada by Mike Mallott. The fight will take place in the welterweight division. 

Neil Magny is thirteenth in the UFC welterweight division; he has been fighting in the league for over a decade, and we almost always had him in sight. He is probably the best gatekeeper in the league. Magny can stop upstarts, but he loses his main fights - to Gilbert Burns, Shavkat Rakhmonov, Michael Chiesa, and Santiago Ponzinibbio. Neil also failed his last fight by decision to undefeated prospect Ian Garry.

Mike Mallott will also be a real threat to Magny. This guy is on a six-fight winning streak, three of them in the UFC, and he's won all of his victories early. In his last fight, Adam Fugitt fell under his guillotine.

For Mallott, his next opponent is the toughest of his career, but the good news is that Magny is not the same anymore and loses more often than he would like. All in all, it's handy for another step up by all accounts. The Canadian is simply pressing the veteran, both in the standing and on the ground - he will be another fighter to step over Neal. But that's not all - Mallott's victory will be early, as usual because it's hard to imagine Neil Magny, who's already on his way home, will be able to defend all three rounds without a problem.
