Mandel Nallo VS Nate Landwehr

Mandel Nallo defeated Nate Landwehr by TKO (leg kicks and punches) at 0:47 of round two in their lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night: Buckley vs. Malott in Edmonton on October 17, 2026. Nallo set the tempo in the opening round by working his jab and calf kicks at range, stunning Landwehr with a right hand that led to a combination against the fence and bloodied him; Nallo later attempted a rear-naked choke off a takedown, but Landwehr survived to the bell. In round two, Nallo returned to attacking the lead leg, and a calf kick dropped Landwehr at 0:47, prompting the referee stoppage. The victory marked Nallo's first win in the UFC, bouncing back from a debut loss to Jai Herbert in April 2026. Landwehr, 38, was making his lightweight debut after three consecutive KO losses at featherweight.

Mandel Nallo brings his Canadian lightweight credentials to a Rogers Place homecoming against American Nate Landwehr in a bout that contributes to a historically Canadian-loaded UFC Edmonton card. Lightweight is among the UFC's most contested divisions, and both men need performances that separate them from the pack — a brawl-heavy affair that plays to the crowd's energy or a technical showcase that impresses the judges.
