Gilbert Burns retires; Mike Malott enters top-15 despite doubts about potential

Gilbert Burns has officially retired from competition following recent UFC action. Meanwhile, Mike Malott is set to enter the top-15 rankings at welterweight, though the analyst expressed skepticism about his potential against the division's elite. The commentator believes Malott will not defeat any top-level fighters from the new generation of welterweights. The post also noted that the Guskov-Blachowicz fight was canceled but replaced with a bout featuring Polish fighter Ibo Baraniewski. Additionally, Arman Tsarukyan defeated Urijah Faber 13-1 in RAF and called out Colby Covington, while Khamzat Chimaev signed with RAF and immediately drew a challenge from Bo Nickal.
