UFC Edmonton <\/a>goes down this weekend (Sat., Oct. 17, 2026) inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This event is Canada vs. The World with all but one bout featuring a Canadian fighter (it would be all of them if not for a late replacement).<\/p>\n

The main event is Joaquin Buckley vs. Mike Malott in the Welterweight division. Malott is looking to crash into the top ten in this one. Buckley is trying to get his first win since 2024.<\/p>\n

The co-main event is Erin Blanchfield vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius in a bout that could determine the first challenger for Natalia Silva. The main card also has Kyle Nelson vs. Cristian Perez, Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Kyle Daukaus, Louis Jourdain vs. Timothy Cuamba and Mandel Nallo vs. Nate Landwehr. There should be some knockouts in there.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Prelims\u2019 include Tanner Boser vs. Jhonata Diniz and Kaitlyn Cerminara vs. Mackenzie Stiller.<\/p>\n

As always, there\u2019s plenty to bet on this weekend. So let\u2019s check out those odds below:<\/p>\n

UFC Edmonton Main Card Money Line Odds<\/p>\n

\"Will<\/a><\/p>\n

Will Mike Malott get his flag taken away at UFC Edmonton? Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Joaquin Buckley (+114) vs. Mike Malott (-135)<\/p>\n

Buckley is coming off two terrible displays of takedown defense in losses to Sean Brady and Kamaru Usman. Between those fights he was somehow recruited by RAF to lose to Tyron Woodley and Patrick Downey. Before this losing streak he managed to retire Colby Convington with a doctor\u2019s stoppage (see it here<\/a>). He also flattened Stephen Thompson (see it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Malott has gone 4-0 since his TKO loss to Neil Magny (in a fight he was winning). His four wins have come over Trevin Giles, Charles Radtke, Kevin Holland and Gilbert Burns. The Burns fight ended in a TKO (see it here<\/a>) and convinced the Brazilian it was time to hang up the gloves.<\/p>\n

This is an interesting fight. Both men have some nice wins on their records, but the level of opposition leaves a little to be desired. So far Buckley has been exposed when he\u2019s gone up against some elites. Malott is yet to get there and be tested, though.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t consider Buckley among the elites, but he\u2019s possibly the hardest hitter Malott has faced. Does any of that matter, though, if Buckley can\u2019t stop a takedown?<\/p>\n

Brady and Usman both took Buckley down four times each. That doesn\u2019t sound like much. But you don\u2019t need to do so many takedowns when you\u2019re able to hold someone down for minutes at a time. Brady and Usman both enjoyed over 12 minutes of control time on Buckley. Brady did that in a three round fight. That\u2019s pathetic, at this level.<\/p>\n

Malott is the grappling coach at Team Alpha Male, so I expect he\u2019s capable of doing something similar. If he\u2019s smart, he\u2019ll do exactly that.<\/p>\n

Malott strikes me as someone who does have good fight IQ. I do wonder, though, if he\u2019ll take some risks on the feet out of an obligation to put on a show in Canada. He\u2019s got good hands, so I can see him thinking he can beat Buckley standing. But I think there\u2019s a chance he gets caught if he tries that. Buckley is longer and has a lot of explosiveness (if you let him stand around and launch attacks at you).<\/p>\n

Malott has to recognize that a win over a top ten opponent is more important than pleasing the crowd. I think he\u2019s going to do the smart thing here and we\u2019ll see Buckley do an upside down turtle impression for the third fight in a row.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Mike Malott moneyline (-135)<\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/a>\"MMA\"Erin<\/a><\/p>\n

Erin Blanchfield could secure a title shot at UFC Edmonton. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Erin Blanchfield (-310) vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius (+250)<\/p>\n

Blanchfield probably felt a little left out when Natalia Silva fought Wang Cong for the vacant Flyweight title. She\u2019s coming off wins over Tracy Cortez and Rose Namajunas. Those wins bookend the no-show she experienced from Maycee Barber in May, 2025. Blanchfield is now 8-1 with her only loss being a decision to Manon Fiorot. She should get a title shot if she wins on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jasudavicius beat Karine Silva in April. Before that she suffered a first round TKO against Fiorot. She complained about the stoppage there, but I think it was a fair one. The Fiorot loss spoiled her five fight winning streak which included finishes over Jessica Andrade, Ariane Lipski and Priscila Cachoeira. She also beat Fatima Kline, who currently looks like a title challenger at Strawweight.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to find a reason to pick Jasudavicius, but I can\u2019t come up with it. Blanchfield\u2019s game isn\u2019t very sexy, but it\u2019s very effective. There are few in her division who can smother othegr fighters like she can. Jasudavicius is very big for the division, but Blanchfield\u2019s grappling, for me, outweighs that fact.<\/p>\n

Jasudavicius is a good grappler, too, and she has some nice hands. But I don\u2019t think she does anything better than Blanchfield does, other than go for the kill and score finishes from top position. I don\u2019t think she\u2019s going to be getting on top of Blanchfield in this fight. Blanchfield leads her division with 0.8% bottom time percentage. That\u2019s second only to Tom Aspinall in the entire UFC.<\/p>\n

With Blanchfield\u2019s odds the way they are, I\u2019ll take her minus the spread. I think she can get a dominant decision and there\u2019s a chance she might get a submission, too.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Erin Blanchfield -3.5 (-115)<\/p>\n

\"Tim<\/a>\"MMA\"Kyle<\/a><\/p>\n

Kyle Nelson could deliver some fireworks at UFC Edmonton. Jordan Jones\/Getty Images<\/p>\n

Kyle Nelson (+245) vs. Cristian Perez (-305)<\/p>\n

Nelson fell victim to Terrance McKinney\u2019s quick start in March, losing in 24 seconds after getting kicked in the dome (see it here<\/a>). Before that he won a weird fight over Matt Frevola (where his TKO win was waved off and then had to fight to a decision). Before that he was pieced apart by Steve Garcia (see it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Perez won on Contender Series in August. He had a long career in Combate, joining the promotion as a teenager and going 13-1. He did have a loss on Contender Series in 2025. However, that was to the impressive looking Manoel Sousa.<\/p>\n

Nelson seems to have gotten too comfortable fighting wars in there, even if he comes off on the worst end of them. He just seems to get to a point where he bites down on the mouthpiece and starts to swing hoping to get things over one way or another.<\/p>\n

Perez looks like a dangerous striker so, as the odds suggest, this approach might not be a good idea for the Canadian.<\/p>\n

Nelson getting hit by 4.58 sig. strikes a minute makes it hard to pick him, especially with his fighting style being so chaotic. The round total is low here at 1.5, but I think this probably finishes early.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Under 1.5 rounds (-160)<\/p>\n

\"Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Power Bar will be bonus hunting at UFC Edmonton. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Marc-Andre Barriault (+170) vs. Kyle Daukaus (-205)<\/p>\n

Barriault owns a 6-10 1 NC UFC record. His exciting style means he\u2019s rarely in danger of getting chopped by UFC, though. The Quebecois fighter is coming off two straight Fight of the Night bonus earning performances. However, both of those were decision losses \u2014 to Michal Oleksiejczuk and Shara Magomedov. Before that he got a Performance of the Night bonus for a KO over Bruno Silva, which \u2014 at the time \u2014 looked like it might have been the first ever fatality in a UFC fight (see it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Daukaus came back to UFC last summer with a first round stoppage over Michel Pereira. He followed that up with a first round submission over Gerald Meerschaert (see it here<\/a>). That submission punched his ticket to the White House, where he was finished by Bo Nickal in the first round (see it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not that sold on the rebirth of Daukaus in UFC. I think he has a grappling edge over Barriault, but I don\u2019t think his durability is good enough to last a long time with Power Bar. I think Barriault\u2019s striking might get to him early and force a stoppage.<\/p>\n

Daukaus\u2019 defense against sig. strikes is only 42 percent. And Barriault lands almost one of those ever ten seconds (5.65 per minute).<\/p>\n

Best bet: Marc-Andre Barriault moneyline (+170)<\/p>\n

\"Timothy<\/a><\/p>\n

Timothy Cuamba might be fighting for his job at UFC Edmonton. Josh Hedges\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Louis Jourdain (-198) vs. Timothy Cuamba (+164)<\/p>\n

Jourdain, brother of Charles Jourdain, won on Contender Series in September, 2025, but has to wait over a year for his proper debut. Prior to Contender Series he fought around Canada in both MMA and boxing.<\/p>\n

Cuamba is 2-3 in UFC after coming off Contender Series in 2023. Last time out he was submitted by Bernardo Sopaj. Prior that he had back-to-back wins over Chang Ho Lee and Roberto Romero. The Romero win came from a flying knee (see it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Cuamba has shown some bright spots in his fighting over this run, despite the losses. That\u2019s more impressive to me than Jourdain\u2019s Contender Series win. I also like that Cuamba has been active while Jourdain has been sitting out on the sidelines. I feel like Cuamba is one of those guys who is going to get better the more reps he gets, even if he\u2019s losing every now and then. I\u2019ll pick him here. I think he\u2019s more well-rounded, in addition to thinking he\u2019s fighting under the better circumstances.<\/p>\n

Also\u2026 us Tims gotta stick together.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Timothy Cuamba moneyline (+164)<\/p>\n

UFC Edmonton \u2018Prelims\u2019 Under Card Odds<\/p>\n

\"Nate<\/a><\/p>\n

Nate Landwehr will try and get back in the win column at UFC Edmonton. Ed Mulholland\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Mandel Nallo (-285) vs. Nate Landwehr (+230)<\/p>\n

Nallo was TKO\u2019d by Jai Herbert in April. That was his first fight since coming off Contender Series with a first round stoppage win. Nallo had a long career in Bellator, going 4-3 1 NC. He didn\u2019t fight any of the bigger names in that promotion, though.<\/p>\n

Landwehr drew the short straw of being Cub Swanson\u2019s retirement fight opponent in April. Swanson came out the gates hot in that fight and blew Landwehr away in four minutes (see it here<\/a>). That was Landwehr\u2019s third loss in a row after getting stopped by Morgan Charriere and Doo Ho Choi. He\u2019s now 5-6 in UFC.<\/p>\n

I really want to see Landwehr break his losing skid here. Sorry if that makes me a bad Canadian. I\u2019m feeling a little gun shy, though, given Nallo\u2019s size and reach advantage. Nallo also lands at a high rate and that\u2019s been a bit of an Achilles\u2019 Heel for Landwehr, who seems to freeze when he\u2019s getting bombed on.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m expecting a finish in this bout, but I think there\u2019s value in the over. This could go deep into a second round before someone goes down.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Over 1.5 rounds (+190)<\/p>\n

\"Jhonata<\/a><\/p>\n

Jhonata Diniz is part of the only Heavyweight bout at UFC Edmonton. Ed Mulholland\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Tanner Boser (+205) vs. Jhonata Diniz (-250)<\/p>\n

Boser was brought back to UFC for their April show in Winnipeg. It didn\u2019t go very well for the Albertan, though. He was finished in the second round by Gokhan Saricam (see it here<\/a>). That was his first UFC appearance since 2023. He went 5-5 in his first go-around with the company.<\/p>\n

Diniz was put away by Mario Pinto in his last fight. The former GLORY fighter, and sparring partner of Alex Pereira, is now 3-2 in UFC. His wins are uninspiring decisions over Alvin Hines and Karl Wiliams and a left hook over the chinny Austen Lane (see it here<\/a>). His other loss was a beatdown he suffered from Marcin Tybura.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not high on Diniz at all. But Boser is going to give him the kind of fight he wants. These two are going to stand and bang and I think Boser is too slow and shopworn to be able to hang with Diniz. Given how inconsistent Diniz has been, I wouldn\u2019t be totally surprised if there\u2019s an upset, though.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Jhonata Diniz moneyline (-250)<\/p>\n

Julien LeBlanc gets his second UFC outing at UFC Edmonton. Mike Roach\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Julien LeBlanc (+440) vs. Nick Galanti (-600)<\/p>\n

LeBlanc debuted on the last show in Canada, losing to Robert Valentin by first round submission. That was his UFC debut, having gone 10-2 on mostly the regional circuit in Canada. His two prior losses are to UFC vet Damien Lapilus and Joel Bauman during his only fight in LFA (the best org he\u2019d fought in prior to joining UFC).<\/p>\n

Galanti scored a 35-second KO on Contender Series in August. Before that he was a champion in Cage Fury Fighting Championships.<\/p>\n

LeBlanc is only here to fill out the Canadian quota of the card. I don\u2019t think he\u2019s UFC level and what Galanti has done on Contender Series and CFFC is enough to convince me that LeBlanc is getting stopped again.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Under 1.5 rounds (-215)<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

No pics of these guys, so here\u2019s a cloudy Edmonton. Artur Widak\/NurPhoto via Getty Images<\/p>\n

Javid Mahjoub (-115) vs. Joel Faglier (-105)<\/p>\n

These are two totally unknown Heavyweights for UFC watchers.<\/p>\n

Mahjoub is the local talent. He\u2019s from Calgary, but trains at Montreal\u2019s famous Tristar Academy. He\u2019s 5-0 to start his career. He\u2019s also been active in the pro grappling circuit in Montreal. He\u2019s 36 years old.<\/p>\n

Faglier is over a decade younger than Mahjoub. He went 3-0 in Fury Fighting Championships and is 6-0 overall. His last fight was a decision over Cody East in February (yes it seems some places are still booking him). Faglier had a successful amateur career before going pro, where he went 7-0 and won some titles.<\/p>\n

Lots of reasons to stay away from this one. Heavyweights are hard to predict even when you\u2019ve seen them fight a dozen times in UFC. In this situation, I\u2019ll go with Faglier, since he\u2019s got the KOs on his record. Mahjoub doesn\u2019t have many of those and you won\u2019t go far in this division if you can\u2019t turn someone\u2019s lights off in the first round.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Joel Faglier moneyline (-105)<\/p>\n

\"Katlyn<\/a><\/p>\n

Katlyn Cerminara returns at UFC Edmonton. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images<\/p>\n

Katlyn Cerminara (-278) vs. Mackenzie Stiller (+225)<\/p>\n

Cerminara (formerly Chookagian) hasn\u2019t fought since she lost a decision to Maycee Barber in 2024. Before that her previous fight was a 2022 decision loss to Manon Fiorot. She\u2019s 11-6 in UFC and is most notable for unsuccessfully challenging Valentina Shevchenko for the belt in 2020. She was supposed to fight Jamey-Lyn Horth at this event.<\/p>\n

Stiller has been drafted out of the recent TUF series to fill this spot. She lost to Delphine Benouaich on the show. Benouaich has looked pretty good since then, though. Stiller was 3-0 in LFA with all submissions before entering the TUF house. She is going up a weight-class for this fight.<\/p>\n

Strawweights rarely do well when they go up to Flyweight, see what happened to Fatima Kline against Jasmine Jasudavius. Many Strawweights in UFC are fighting at that weight because there\u2019s not anything smaller (like Atomweight in ONE and Invicta). Stiller is doing the UFC a solid here and I think she\u2019ll find it too hard to counter the size difference.<\/p>\n

Stiller\u2019s strength is also grappling. Cerminara is not flashy with her BJJ, but I think she knows more than enough to not get subbed by a rookie.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Katlyn Cerminara moneyline (-278)<\/p>\n

\"Chad<\/a><\/p>\n

Chad Anheliger appears in the Octagon for the first time since the last UFC Edmonton. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Chad Anheliger (-102) vs. Steven Koslow (-118)<\/p>\n

Anheliger hasn\u2019t fought in two years. His last appearance was a unanimous decision loss to Cody Gibson (who towards over him in that fight). Before that he beat Charalampos Grigoriou. He\u2019s now 2-3 in UFC and about to turn 40.<\/p>\n

Koslow has been away even longer. He hasn\u2019t fought since his UFC debut in December 2022 where he was TKO\u2019d by Cameron Saaiman. The 29 year old fell to 6-1 due to that.<\/p>\n

Anheliger is kind of caught between weightclasses. He\u2019s up against another Bantamweight who is bigger, longer and possibly stronger than him. The ten year age gap is also significant. I don\u2019t like the four year absence for Koslow, but it doesn\u2019t look so bad when Anheliger has been out for two years.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Steven Koslow moneyline (-118)<\/p>\n

\"Melissa<\/a><\/p>\n

Melissa Croden will have a lot of fan support at UFC Edmonton. Chris Unger\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Melissa Croden (-270) vs. Chelsea Chandler (+220)<\/p>\n

Croden is 2-1 in UFC since signing over from LFA in 2024. Her wins are over Darya Zheleznyakova and Tainara Lisboa (by TKO). Her loss was to Luana Santos. She\u2019s a former LFA champion.<\/p>\n

Chandler is 3-3 in UFC. She is coming off an armbar win over Priscila Cachoeira in June. Before that she was finished by Joselyne Edwards.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very high on Croden. She\u2019s aggressive and very sharp with her combination striking. Chandler was getting rocked by Cachoeira before storming back and pulling off the armbar. Croden\u2019s offense will be just as potent as Cachoeira\u2019s but she won\u2019t have the same defensive holes.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Melissa Croden moneyline (-270)<\/p>\n

\"Su<\/a><\/p>\n

Su Young You opens the show at UFC Edmonton. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Cody Chovancek (-148) vs. Su Young You (+124)<\/p>\n

Chovancek has one of the more interesting nicknames around. \u2018The Best Fisherman in MMA\u2019 is 9-0 as a pro and hails from Petrolia, Ontario. He earned a contract on Contender Series over a year ago, but had been on the sidelines ever since then.<\/p>\n

You is a Road to UFC product. He won one of those tournaments in 2024. He won his first two UFC bouts after that, including a decision over Xiao Long. In March he was submitted by Elijah Smith (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Chovancek will have a size advantage over You. However, I\u2019ve got to go with the guy who has made more reps in UFC and has actually won here. You has good wrestling and it\u2019s unlikely Chovancek has seen anything similar to that on the regional scene he\u2019s been apart of.<\/p>\n

Best bet: Su Young You moneyline (+124)<\/p>\n

\"Will<\/a><\/p>\n

Will Christian Leroy Duncan rise to the occasion at UFC Vegas 122. Jeff Bottari\/Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a couple of long shots for Saturday night\u2019s action …<\/p>\n

Mike Malott by KO\/TKO\/DQ (+350)<\/p>\n

I think Malott is going to get Joaquin Buckley down and hold him down for a long time, just like Sean Brady and Kamaru Usman did. I also think Malott is more proactive with his ground-and-pound, too. So I think he might be able to get Buckley trapped and just tap away for a TKO win.<\/p>\n

Two bet parlay: Nate Landwehr and Timothy Cuamba (+758)<\/p>\n

Sadly, Canada does not have a deep pool of MMA talent right now. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Canada takes a L, overall on Saturday. Landwehr and Cuamba are two underdogs who I think have a great shot. Both are going against pretty unproven talents in the form of Mandel Nallo and Louis Jourdain.<\/p>\n

Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Kyle Daukaus to end in Last 10 Seconds of Any Round (+4000)<\/p>\n

I think this fight is destined for a stoppage. The first minute finish is +1000 for this fight (instead of its usual +2000), so I\u2019ll go for a buzzer-beater instead.<\/p>\n
