Burns, a 39-year-old Brazilian welterweight ranked 13th in the division, entered the fight with a record of 22-10. A former title challenger and longtime contender with Kill Cliff FC, he has long been one of the more well-rounded fighters in the 170-pound weight class, averaging 3.15 significant strikes per minute and mixing in 2.12 takedowns per 15 minutes throughout his career.
In the co-main event, Charles Jourdain earned a split decision over Kyler Phillips by scores of 29-28 across all three judges. Jourdain's victory adds another notable featherweight result to an already active stretch for that division.

Why it matters
- Malott's TKO of a ranked welterweight in Burns immediately elevates his standing in the 170-pound division
- Burns, sitting at number 13 in the rankings, suffers a loss that could push him further down the welterweight ladder at 39 years old
- Jourdain's split decision over Phillips keeps the featherweight contender picture unsettled heading into the next round of matchmaking
- Several first-round finishes across the card signal a potentially significant reshuffling in multiple weight classes
