Malcolm Wellmaker, a fast-rising bantamweight contender in the UFC, is preparing for his upcoming fight at UFC 322. While Wellmaker is known for his devastating knockout power, winning six of his 10 professional fights by KO/TKO, he also has a wide range of interests outside of the octagon.
In a recent interview, Wellmaker opened up about his passion for anime, including popular series like Hunter x Hunter and Demon Slayer. The 25-year-old fighter also discussed his love of video games, though he surprisingly revealed that he has never seen Pokémon.
Wellmaker earned a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in late 2024 with a first-round knockout of Adam Bramhald. He followed that up with impressive finishes in his first two UFC appearances, taking out Cameron Saaiman and Kris Moutinho in under three minutes each.
Despite his growing success in the UFC, Wellmaker remains focused on continuing to improve and climb the bantamweight rankings. Fans will be eager to see if he can maintain his knockout streak when he steps into the octagon at UFC 322.
