UFC Atlantic City features a pivotal women’s flyweight bout in its main event, with the winner likely next in line for a title shot.
Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot enter this fight undefeated in the UFC, with both boasting a 6-0 record in the promotion. With both holding wins over former UFC champions, a win over the other would all but guarantee a title shot for the winner. The card also features a fun welterweight bout in the co-main event, with perennial contender Vicente Luque taking on the exciting Joaquin Buckley. This bout has FOTN written all over it, with two guys who love to throw down and a combined 18 finishes in the UFC between them.
Chris Weidman also makes an appearance in the featured bout, potentially being his last in the promotion. Nursulton Ruziboev, Dennis Buzukja, and Andre Petroski all fight close to home as well, making this a card that the crowd should be on their feet for. And who could forget the always exciting Nate “The Train” Landwehr in the featured prelim of the evening? This card is filled with excitement from top to bottom and looks to deliver a fun night for fans.
