Burns, nicknamed "Durinho," enters the bout ranked 13th in the welterweight division. The 39-year-old Brazilian trains out of Kill Cliff FC and carries a 22-10-0 professional record. Fighting out of an orthodox stance at 178 centimeters tall with a 180-centimeter reach, Burns is a well-rounded threat who lands 3.15 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy while also averaging 2.12 takedowns per 15 minutes.
Elsewhere on the main card, Manel Kape steps up in weight to meet Jai Herbert at lightweight. Kape, the 32-year-old Angolan southpaw ranked sixth at flyweight, brings a 23-7-0 record and outstanding striking numbers — 4.68 significant strikes per minute at a sharp 55 percent accuracy. Herbert, a 38-year-old Englishman known as the "Black Country Banger," holds a 14-6-1 record and stands 185 centimeters tall with an imposing 196-centimeter reach. He lands 3.07 significant strikes per minute, giving this matchup a heavy-handed dynamic on both sides.
A notable addition to the preliminary card is a catchweight contest set at 63.04 kilograms between Russia's Mark Vologdin, who weighed in at 62.82 kilograms, and John Castaneda at the catchweight limit.
Why it matters
- Burns versus Malott is a welterweight bout with divisional ranking implications, as Burns sits at number 13 and a loss could push him further down the ladder
- Kape moving up to lightweight is a significant weight-class test for one of flyweight's top-ten contenders
- Herbert's reach advantage of 196 centimeters could be a key factor against the shorter but highly accurate Kape
- The Vologdin-Castaneda catchweight arrangement means neither fighter will receive a win that counts toward official divisional rankings
