UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott (also known as UFC Fight Night 291) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on October 17, 2026, at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Background

The event marked the promotion's fourth visit to Edmonton and first since UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Albazi in November 2024.

A welterweight bout between Joaquin Buckley and Mike Malott headlined the event.

A women's flyweight bout between Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius served as the co-main event. They were initially scheduled to compete at UFC 330 in August, but Blanchfield withdrew due to an injury.

A women's flyweight bout between former UFC Women's Flyweight Championship challenger Katlyn Cerminara and former LFA Women's Flyweight Champion Jamey-Lyn Horth was scheduled for the event. However, Horth had to withdraw due to an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Mackenzie Stiller.

A heavyweight bout between promotional newcomer Javad Mahjoub and Louie Sutherland was originally scheduled at the event, but Sutherland pulled out and was replaced by fellow promotional newcomer Joel Faglier.

In addition, a middleweight bout between Julien Leblanc and Gilbert Urbina was scheduled for the event. However, Urbina withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by promotional newcomer Nick Galanti.
