Combat Profile

Mike Malott is a Canadian fighter representing SBG Canada who is widely respected for his elite Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and dangerous submission game. He holds a black belt in BJJ and is particularly known for his vicious guillotine choke, which he has used to finish opponents abruptly. Malott has also developed sharp striking to complement his grappling, often using his length to set up takedowns or knockouts.

Tactical Advantage

Malott exploits opponents who are overly aggressive with takedowns or leave their neck exposed during striking exchanges, as his guillotine is a fight-ending weapon. He thrives against grapplers who underestimate his guard or strikers who lack the takedown defense to keep the fight standing where he is also dangerous. His tactical approach often involves drawing opponents into his web of submissions rather than forcing the action himself.
