Blanchfield (12-1 MMA) will enter the contest sporting a nine-fight winning streak, her most recent being a unanimous decision victory over Taila Santos. Prior to that, ‘Cold Blooded’ had scored three submission wins in a row, finishing JJ Aldrich, Molly McCann and Jessica Andrade in that stretch.

Meanwhile, Manon Fiorot (11-1 MMA) was last seen in action at last September’s UFC Paris event, where she scored a unanimous decision victory over Rose Namajunas. That win marked the French standouts eleventh in a row, with 6 of those 11 victories coming under the UFC banner.

UFC Atlantic City is co-headlined by a welterweight bout featuring Vicente Luque taking on Joaquin Buckley.

Vicente Luque

Luque (22-9 MMA) most recently competed in August of last year, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Rafael dos Anjos. That win snapped a two-fight losing skid for ‘The Silent Assassin’, who had previously suffered losses to Belal Muhammad and Geoff Neal respectively.

Meanwhile, Joaquin Buckley (17-6 MMA) enters tonight’s co-headliner on a two-fight winning streak, his most recent being a unanimous decision victory over Alex Morono this past October. ‘New Mansa’ has gone 3-2 over his past five Octagon appearances overall.

Also featured on tonight’s UFC Atlantic City main card is the return of former middleweight champion Chris Weidman who will be squaring off with Bruno Silva.

Weidman (15-7 MMA) will be looking to snap a two-fight losing skid when he takes to the Octagon this evening. The ‘All American’ was most previously seen in action last August at UFC 292, where he dropped a decision to Brad Tavares. Prior to that, the 39-year-old had suffered a broken leg in his bout against Uriah Hall at UFC 261.

Meanwhile, Bruno Silva (23-10 MMA) will also be looking to return to the win column this evening in New Jersey. ‘Armored’ is coming off back-t0-back losses to opponents Brendan Allen and Sharabutdin Magomedov.
