Main Event
Two of the top female contenders in the flyweight division face off in the main event, as No. 2 ranked Erin Blanchfield (12-1) and No. 3 Manon Fiorot (11-1) meet to potentially determine who is next in line for a championship opportunity. No. 4 ranked women’s pound-for-pound fighter Blanchfield returns to her hometown unbeaten in her first six UFC outings, looking to clinch her first title shot with a dominant performance. After opening her UFC tenure with six consecutive victories, Fiorot looks to become the first to finish Blanchfield in the UFC and earn her spot as the top contender in the division.

Co-Main Event
Welterweights Vicente Luque (22-9) and Joaquin Buckley (17-6) collide in the co-main event. Luque returns to the Octagon seeking a second straight win and 16th UFC victory to continue climbing up the division ranking. Buckley moved from middleweight to the welterweight division last year and is determined to crack the welterweight Top 15.
