In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, New Jersey native Blanchfield hoped her struggle with Fiorot could be a major occasion. The rising contender has torn by competitors within the UFC, most not too long ago scoring back-to-back wins over former strawweight champion Jessica Andrade and former title challenger Taila Santos.
Additionally unbeaten within the octagon, France’s Fiorot spoiled former two-time 115-pound champ Rose Namajunas’ flyweight debut this previous September in Paris. Previous to that, she defeated former title challengers Katlyn Chookagian and Jennifer Maia.
The winner of this struggle might decide the following title challenger at 125 kilos.
The present UFC Atlantic Metropolis lineup consists of:
- Erin Blanchfield vs. Manon Fiorot
- Alonzo Menifield vs. Carlos Ulberg
- Dennis Buzukja vs. Connor Matthews
- Crazy Godinez vs. Virna Jandiroba
- Jacob Malkoun vs. Andre Petroski
- Bruno Silva vs. Chris Weidman
- Sedriques Dumas vs. Nursulton Ruziboev
