From the corner

Malott's riding a four-fight streak and he's sharper everywhere that matters: better accuracy standing, better takedown accuracy, and a real submission threat with that reach advantage working for him too. Buckley brings the one-shot power and athleticism that's made highlight reels, but he's older, coming in with no real streak, and his volume accuracy lags behind what Malott's been showing. This one's close to a coinflip and the number on the board reflects that.

What beats it

Buckley's got legit fight-ending power in single strikes that can erase all these numbers in one sequence.
