Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot are set to face off in a flyweight bout with potential title shot implications at UFC Fight Night in Atlantic City on March 30, as announced by UFC CEO Dana White.
Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot are gearing up for a showdown. It’s a fight with high stakes, possibly determining the next No. 1 contender.
The bout’s set for March, and anticipation is building. UFC’s Dana White took to Instagram to break the news. Fans can catch the action on March 30 at UFC Fight Night, hosted in Atlantic City’s iconic Boardwalk Hall.
Blanchfield’s a force to be reckoned with, sitting at No. 3 in the rankings. Since her UFC debut in 2021, she’s been unstoppable. Her last victory? A grueling decision win in Singapore against Taila Santos.
But wait, there’s more to her story. Blanchfield’s not just a winner; she’s a finisher. She’s taken down Jessica Andrade, Molly McCann, and JJ Aldrich, all by stoppage.
Fiorot, ranked fifth, is no stranger to the taste of victory. Her latest triumph was a bloody battle against Rose Namajunas in Paris. And her record? It’s impressive, with wins over Katlyn Chookagian, Jennifer Maia, and Mayra Bueno Silva.
So, March 30th is the date to mark. While it’s the only fight confirmed so far, it’s enough to promise an electrifying night in Atlantic City. The rest of the card remains a mystery, but the buzz is already in the air.
