UFC Edmonton Weigh-In Results: Buckley and Malott Make Weight
The UFC Edmonton weigh-in results are official, with headliners Joaquin Buckley and Canadian contender Mike Malott successfully making weight ahead of their highly anticipated welterweight main event on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
Both fighters registered 170.5 pounds during Friday’s official weigh-ins, placing them below the 171-pound limit for a non-title welterweight contest. Their successful weigh-ins cleared the way for the five-round main event at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The event, officially promoted as UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott, features a 13-bout lineup with several consequential matchups across multiple divisions. The co-main event will see top flyweight contenders Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius face off in a bout that could influence the division’s championship picture.
All 26 fighters scheduled to compete successfully made weight, according to MMA Fighting’s report. However, the weigh-in process was not entirely without tension, as Kyle Daukaus and Melissa Croden reportedly needed additional privacy measures while completing their official weigh-ins.
With the scales cleared, attention now shifts to the Octagon, where Buckley and Malott will look to make statements in a matchup carrying different implications for each fighter’s immediate future.
Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott Both Weigh In at 170.5 Pounds
The headline result from the UFC Edmonton weigh-ins was straightforward: neither main-event fighter missed weight.
Buckley and Malott both registered 170.5 pounds, comfortably within the non-title welterweight limit. Their matching measurements remove one potential complication ahead of a fight expected to attract significant attention from Canadian fans and the broader UFC audience.
Malott enters the contest with considerable momentum. The Canadian fighter is looking to extend his winning run following a recent knockout victory over former title challenger Gilbert Burns. A strong performance on home soil would strengthen his position among the division’s developing contenders.
Buckley, meanwhile, faces a different challenge. The American enters the matchup looking to rebound from consecutive defeats. Although those setbacks have interrupted his progress, he remains a dangerous welterweight whose speed, physicality and explosive striking can change a fight in an instant.
For Buckley, a victory would provide an opportunity to regain momentum and reassert himself in the competitive welterweight division. For Malott, defeating an established opponent with Buckley’s reputation would represent another important step forward.
The weigh-in results ensure both fighters can concentrate on executing their game plans rather than dealing with a missed-weight controversy. The main event is scheduled for five rounds, giving each competitor an extended opportunity to establish control, adjust tactically and pursue a decisive finish.
Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius Clear the Scales
The co-main event also passed an important pre-fight checkpoint, with Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius both successfully making weight for their women’s flyweight contest.
Blanchfield weighed in at 125 pounds, while Jasudavicius registered 124.5 pounds. Both measurements were within the applicable limit for their non-title matchup.
The contest is particularly significant because both athletes are competing in a division where strong performances can influence the race for a future championship opportunity.
Blanchfield has developed a reputation as a formidable contender, combining grappling ability with an increasingly complete approach to mixed martial arts. Her capacity to control opponents on the ground can make her difficult to handle over three rounds.
Jasudavicius brings her own strengths and will have the opportunity to disrupt Blanchfield’s plans. Fighting in Canada also gives the matchup additional local interest, particularly among fans following the country’s growing presence in the UFC.
While a victory would not automatically guarantee a title shot, a convincing performance could strengthen either fighter’s argument for a higher-profile assignment.
With both women making weight, the co-main event remains intact and ready to proceed as scheduled.

Tanner Boser vs. Jhonata Diniz
Boser weighed 247.5 pounds, while Diniz registered 251.5 pounds for their heavyweight contest. The matchup gives the heavyweight competitors an opportunity to make an impact on a card featuring several divisions.
Julien Leblanc vs. Nick Galanti
Leblanc weighed 185 pounds and Galanti came in at 185.5 pounds for their middleweight bout. Both fighters cleared the scales, allowing the contest to proceed as scheduled.
Javad Mahjoub vs. Joel Faglier

Melissa Croden vs. Chelsea Chandler
The published report identified Croden as one of the fighters who needed additional privacy measures during the weigh-in process. It also stated that all 26 fighters ultimately made weight.
However, the report’s table appears to contain an incorrect figure for Croden, listing 186 pounds for a women’s bantamweight matchup. Because that number is inconsistent with the division and the report’s statement that all fighters made weight, it should not be repeated as a verified measurement without checking the official record.
Chandler was listed at 135.5 pounds.
Cody Chovancek vs. SuYoung You
Chovancek and You both weighed 135.5 pounds for their bantamweight matchup, completing the preliminary lineup.
What the Weigh-In Results Mean for UFC Edmonton
Successful weigh-ins do not predict the winner of a fight, but they confirm that the competitors have passed a critical stage of preparation.
Making weight allows fighters to move into the final phase of fight week, including face-offs, media obligations, tactical preparation and recovery ahead of competition.
For Malott, the event represents an opportunity to capitalize on his recent success in front of Canadian supporters. A victory over Buckley would strengthen the case for more demanding opposition in the future.
For Buckley, the stakes center on stopping his recent slide. Consecutive losses can make a rebound especially important for a contender hoping to remain in the conversation at welterweight. A strong showing against Malott could help restore his momentum.
The Blanchfield-Jasudavicius contest also deserves attention because of its potential implications for the women’s flyweight rankings. A convincing win could help the victor move closer to a more prominent matchup.
Beyond the headliners, the card features multiple opportunities for athletes to gain visibility and improve their standing. A finish, a dominant performance or an unexpected upset could shape the next stage of several fighters’ careers.
With all scheduled competitors reported to have made weight, the main focus now shifts from the scales to the fights themselves.
