For anyone following the Canadian MMA landscape, Unified MMA stands as one of the premier organizations in the nation, boasting some of the finest titleholders across the sport.
Of the nine Unified MMA championships available, three slots remain unfilled heading into the year.
The flyweight, lightweight, and super welterweight divisions are all searching for their next champions. Here are three athletes poised to potentially wear the Unified MMA belt before 2020 draws to a close.
Flyweight: Malcolm Gordon (12-3)
Barring Chad Anheliger, Western Canada's flyweight division lacks a clear-cut contender. With Anheliger already signed to Rise FC as their dual-crown flyweight and bantamweight champion, the next Unified MMA flyweight titleholder might very well emerge from the eastern side of the country. Gordon ranks among Eastern Canada's elite flyweights—and among the nation's best overall. He currently carries the TKO MMA flyweight championship, the WXC flyweight title, and previously held the Havoc FC flyweight belt. Wouldn't it make sense to bring Gordon back out west for a shot at another crown?
