Mike Malott started slow, but eventually found his opening to deliver a highlight-reel knockout in front of his home country. Malott faced Joaquin Buckley in the main event of Saturday’s UFC Edmonton fight card in a welterweight contest. After a competitive first round, Malott threw — what appeared to be — a body kick, but his knee crashed into the face of Buckley, knocking out his mouthpiece, and knocking Buckley out cold. Check out the wild finish below. The first round was quite close with both fighters showing a lot of respect for the other’s power. As the second round began, things began to open up as Buckley marched forward with a big flurry. Malott was able to clinch Buckley up against the fence, possibly to wear down on the powerful “New Mansa.”As things separated, Malott found the opening for the knockout blow. With the win, “Proper” has now won five straight, finishing three of those opponents. In his post-fight interview with Paul Felder, Malott let it be known that while he may not steal the show at a press conference, or in an interview setting, he’s certainly capable of doing it inside the octagon anytime he competes.

After needing nearly 11 rounds to finish the job in a brutal bout and claim the WBO heavyweight title in Manchester just 161 days ago, The Ring’s No. 1 heavyweight contender took Wardley apart quickly in their rematch. Ben Davison and Rob Hodgins, Wardley’s training team, were slammed for leaving their man in for too long May 9, it was Davison who tossed in the towel to call things off this one-sided rematch. Referee Steve Gray stopped the action at 2:21 of the second round. Back in Manchester, Wardley dropped Dubois after just 16 seconds, with the very first right hand he threw. But it was a total role reversal here as Dubois dropped Wardley after 17 seconds with a pinpoint right hand of his own. It was the first time Wardley, the former white-collar boxer, had been down in his entire life. With more than 2½ minutes left on the clock, he found himself in the midst of a crisis. But while Wardley was unable to capitalize on the early breakthrough in May, there would be no let-up from Dubois (24-3, 23 KOs). With so long left in the round, it looked like the writing was on the wall as the Londoner landed with more devastating right hands.
