The next date on the calendar
UFC lists Buckley vs Malott for Saturday 17 October 2026 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada. The official event page retains Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott as the welterweight main event. MMA Fighting also confirmed the pairing when reporting the promotion’s announcement. This preview was checked on 12 October: it describes a future event and contains no results.
Beyond the headline fight
The official card includes Erin Blanchfield against Jasmine Jasudavicius at women’s flyweight. MMA Fighting identifies it as the co-main event. Kyle Nelson versus Cristian Perez Gonzalez at lightweight and Marc-André Barriault versus Kyle Daukaus at middleweight are also listed. These are examples from the published card, not a guarantee of an unchanging lineup: replacements, withdrawals or bout-order changes can occur before the event.
Europe crosses into the next day
The prelims are scheduled for 5:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday, which is 3:00 p.m. in Edmonton (MDT) and 11:00 p.m. in Paris and Madrid (CEST). The main card starts at 8:00 p.m. EDT: 6:00 p.m. in Edmonton and 2:00 a.m. on Sunday 18 October in Paris and Madrid. These are block start times, not the exact time Buckley and Malott will enter the cage; that depends on the preceding fights.
Preparing to watch
Recheck the official listing close to the event and confirm your country’s viewing options. For more attentive viewing, choose a technical question: who controls distance, how is position contested against the fence, or what happens when the action moves to the ground? You can follow those exchanges without treating a prediction as a fact. The card and times here reflect the announcement at the date of review.
