Malcolm Wellmaker Eyes Another Statement Win at UFC on ESPN 69
Let’s talk about one of the most anticipated matchups on the UFC on ESPN 69 card — Malcolm Wellmaker versus Kris Moutinho. This is a bantamweight showdown that’s getting a lot of buzz, and for good reason. Malcolm Wellmaker, still fresh from his explosive UFC debut just six weeks ago, is back in the Octagon, and the hype around him is only growing louder.
Wellmaker is currently sitting on an undefeated record of 9-0, and every fight he’s had seems to further validate the excitement fans and analysts have about him. He earned his UFC contract through Dana White’s Contender Series and made an unforgettable entrance by knocking out Cameron Saaiman in under two minutes. That kind of performance doesn’t just win you fans — it puts your name on the radar of every bantamweight out there.

Now, he’s facing Kris Moutinho, a name some fans will remember for his tough-as-nails attitude when he fought Sean O’Malley back in 2021. Moutinho didn’t get the results he wanted during his first stint in the UFC — he was stopped in both fights — but to his credit, he’s bounced back. Since leaving the promotion, he’s racked up five straight wins and earned himself another shot. He’s returning with more experience, more composure, and clearly a lot to prove.
But let’s be real — this is Wellmaker’s fight to lose. His momentum is unreal right now. He’s fast, precise, and carries serious knockout power for the 135-pound division. Moutinho is durable, no doubt, and he’ll come forward all night, but that might actually play right into Wellmaker’s hands. If Moutinho can't avoid the early onslaught, this could be another short night for Malcolm.
Prediction? I’m expecting fireworks — and I’m calling it: Malcolm Wellmaker by KO or TKO. This guy’s on a mission, and unless Moutinho has made major leaps since we last saw him in the UFC, he’s going to struggle to keep up with Wellmaker’s pace and precision. Tune in — because this could be another viral finish for one of the UFC’s most promising new faces.
