Welterweights meet in the main event of UFC Fight Night from Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg on Saturday
Former UFC welterweight title challenger Gilbert Burns enters his UFC Fight Night main event against Mike Malott on a four-fight losing skid.
If Burns has any chance of returning to a prominent spot in the welterweight division, it starts Saturday in Winnipeg.
Burns came up short when he challenged Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title in 2021.
Burns entered that fight on an impressive seven-fight winning streak.
Since the loss to Usman, Burns has gone just 3-5, though against a parade of elite fighters.

Malott is hoping to stamp his name along side those elite fighters when he brings a three-fight winning streak to the APEX.
Malott's lone UFC loss came against Neil Magny in 2024.
In Malott's most recent fight, he scored a big decision win over Kevin Holland, the biggest win of his career, and one that will be eclipsed with a win over Burns.
In the co-main event, Canadian Charles Jourdain looks to continue his strong run at bantamweight when he takes on veteran Kyler Philips.
Jourdain, 30, spent most of his career at 145 pounds.
But after back-to-back losses in 2024, he decided to cut down to 135 and give it a go.
The results have bared out well with a pair of submission wins over Victory Henry and Davey Grant.
Now, he takes on one of the most durable fighters in the division in Philips, who has never been stopped in his 16-fight pro career.
