Mike Malott Addresses Low-Blow Controversy After Win Over Kevin Holland

Malott defended his unanimous-decision victory over #15-ranked Holland last Saturday at UFC Vancouver after two controversial low blows in Round 1. “I know we both threw kicks… my shin probably brushed his cup,” Malott said. Holland fought through visible pain but couldn’t recover fully. Despite debate over a possible point deduction, Malott called the win “the first step” toward contention.
