Mike Malott

Mike Malott, fighting out of an orthodox stance at welterweight with a professional record of 13-2-1, operates as a well-rounded mixed martial artist who balances striking volume with submission threat. Over his career, Malott lands 3.93 strikes per minute at 48% accuracy while maintaining a 56% striking defense rate, indicating a measured approach rather than pure volume output.

His grappling credentials are substantial: he averages 1.88 takedowns per 15 minutes at 50% accuracy and 0.8 submissions per 15 minutes, positioning him as a legitimate submission threat despite a concerning 14% takedown defense. Recent performances underscore his versatility—he secured a unanimous decision over Kevin Holland in October 2025, earned a second-round TKO victory against Charles Radtke in May 2025, and claimed a unanimous decision over Trevin Giles in November 2024.

His submission prowess was on display earlier in his career with first-round finishes against Shimon Smotritsky and Yohan Lainesse. A notable setback came against Neil Magny in January 2024, who stopped him via third-round TKO.

Malott's technical grappling paired with emerging striking consistency has established him as a competitive welterweight contender capable of winning fights across multiple avenues.
