Many fighters were not aware of Mike Malott’s presence until after their separate matches when he defeated Adam Fugitt via submission.
During Malott’s exit from the ring, a railing collapsed, sending spectators crashing to the ground and hitting one of the Canadian fighter’s cornermen in the hip. 17,628 people showed up for the fight in Vancouver, and gate receipts totaled $5.4 million. As the next probable site for a Canadian fight, Toronto would be a sensible decision.
