Rose Namajunas is ready to get back in the mix.
The former UFC strawweight champion successfully hit the 125-pound mark for her co-main event bout against Erin Blanchfield at UFC Edmonton. Currently No. 10 and No. 8, respectively, in the MMA Fighting Pound-for-Pound Rankings, Namajunas and Blanchfield could earn themselves title shot consideration with a win. It’s unlikely either bypasses top contender Manon Fiorot—who recently defeated both fighters—but Saturday’s winner could be next in line should they deliver an impressive performance.
In the main event, flyweights Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi also successfully made weight. Moreno is a two-time UFC champion and seeks to hold on to his No. 4 spot after a pair of painful split-decision losses to rivals Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval. He’ll have to get past No. 6 Albazi, a contender coming off of a long layoff that is yet to lose in five UFC appearances.
