The main event of the evening will feature a welterweight clash as division mainstayGilbert Burnssteps inside the Octagon to face Mike Malott in a high-stakes bout.

Hoping to keep the Brazilian’s winless streak alive, Malott enters his first headliner on a three-fight win streak, including animpressive victory over Kevin Hollandin October.
In the co-main event, Quebec native Charles Jourdain hopes to extend his unbeaten streak to three, while handing Kyler Phillips his third straight loss under the UFC banner.
