Fighters on the Rise | UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs Fiorot

Shining A Spotlight On Three Ascending Talents Looking To Break Out Saturday Night On The Jersey Shore

Atlantic City was an early hub for the UFC, with the promotion bringing six events to the Jersey Shore between the end of 2000 and the summer of 2005.

Three more trips followed over the years, and this weekend, the Octagon returns to Boardwalk Hall, marking the promotion’s 10th trip to the “Las Vegas of the East Coast” and its first since the spring of 2018, bringing a card headlined by a critical flyweight clash between New Jersey’s own Erin Blanchfield and French standout Manon Fiorot.
