The women’s bout officially gained main-event status two weeks after a welterweight bout between Sean Brady and Vicente Luque was canceled to headline the show.
Both girls are undefeated in the world’s strongest league with six straight wins each. Blanchfield defeated former title challenger Tayla Santos by unanimous decision in her last fight, while Fioro won a unanimous decision over former UFC champion Rose Namajunas.
Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fioro are currently ranked second and third in the UFC women’s flyweight division rankings, respectively.
