The UFC heads back out on the road when it heads to Atlantic City for a Fight Night card in New Jersey. The card is headlined by a pivotal flyweight fight between No. 2-ranked Erin Blanchfrield and No. 3-ranked Manon Fiorot. The winner of the fight could be the next to fight the winner of Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 3 which should take place later this year due to the pair filming The Ultimate Fighter currently.

Many feel Blanchfield should be the next contender due to her nine-fight win streak, including all of her six UFC appearances. But Fiorot has been climbing the ranks as well and if she can defeat Blanchfield, she'll hold a major claim to the next title shot. Fiorot is riding an 11-fight win streak, including over former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. But she and Blanchfield hold the same six UFC wins. This could be a big night for the flyweights.

In the co-main event is No. 11 ranked Vicente Luque who will look to hold the momentum from his win over former champion Rafael dos Anjos. Standing across the cage will be Joaquin Buckley who holds one of the wildest knockouts of all time. Buckley is stepping in for Sean Brady who is injured.

Another standout on the card if former champion Chris Weidman who will be looking for his first win since August 2020.

Here's the full card, subject to change.
