#4 Ranked Pound-for-Pound Fighter Blanchfield (12-1, fighting out of Elmwood Park, NJ) looks to earn the biggest victory of his MMA career in front of fans in his home state. At just 24 years old, she has established herself as one of the UFC’s top prospects with victories over Jessica Andrade, Taila Santos and Molly McCann. Blanchfield now plans to secure his first title shot with a dominant performance.
French striker Fiorot (11-1, fight in Nice, France) plans to make a statement in his first UFC main event. A karate black belt, Fiorot burst onto the UFC scene with the notable arrivals of Victoria Leonardo and Tabatha Ricci before announcing herself as one of the top contenders with her most recent victory against former champion Rose Namajunas . She now aims to become the first to finish Blanchfield in the UFC and earn her spot as the division’s top contender.
Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman (15-7, fighting out of Baldwin, NY) looks to deliver a vintage performance. Considered one of the greatest UFC middleweights of all time, Weidman holds historic victories over Anderson Silva (twice), Lyoto Machida and Vitor Belfort. He now aims to add to his record for most takedowns in UFC middleweight history with a resounding victory over Silva.
Always exciting Silva (23-10, fighting in Curitiba, Brazil) hopes to add the notable name of Weidman to his resume with a signature knockout. After finishing 20 of his 23 victories with strikes, Silva entertained fans with triumphs over Brad Tavares, Jordan Wright and Andrew Sanchez. He now looks to start his 2024 campaign on a high note by stopping Weidman.
