RD1, RD4 were swing rounds. I gave Blanchfield the slight edge but also noted Fiorot had a case to be way ahead. 50-45x3 is not a scorecard I expect but none the less it was a great night of fights. #UFCAtlanticCity https://t.co/cU4UdrmMnG https://t.co/iQeSqhyiSB

Manon Fiorot continues her undefeated run in the UFC 😤 #UFCAtlanticCity https://t.co/tWppQTJnCL
Manon Fiorot should get the win here and become the No. 1 contender. With Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 3 not likely until September, it's tough to say if Fiorot should just sit and wait because she may not fight again until 2025. #UFCAtlanticCity
10-9 Fiorot RD5 48-47 Fiorot It’ll come via unanimous decision. #UFCAtlanticCity
10-9 Blanchfield RD4 38-38 ( I gave Blanchfield RD1 ) Chance Erin Blanchfield still needs a finish but RD1, 4 close so Fiorot could be way ahead or it could possibly by tied. #UFCAtlanticCity
30-27 Fiorot entering the championship rounds.
20-18 Manon Fiorot She's not doing anything flashy but Blanchfield just rushing forward and eating a right jab and a side kick repeatedly. #UFCAtlanticCity
1st & 2nd round to Fiorots #UFCAtlanticCity
10-9 Fiorot RD2 19-19 and shaping up to be a great fight. #UFCAtlanticCity
Fiorot clearly has the tighter striking and so far has dealt with Blanchfield's takedowns well. #UFCAtlanticCity
Quick ground game sequence and their back up. Even first part of the second round. Seeing alot score Fiorot RD1. Interesting as I felt Blanchfield took it. #UFCAtlanticCity
10-9 Fiorot She is picking Blanchfield off at distance for the most part. Blanchfield needs to get in close at all costs.
10-9 Blanchfield RD1 Fiorot may of had the slight edge in damage however Blanchfield almost finished the fight and that’s huge. So big Mike Bell (NSAC) even gave Alexa Grasso a 10-8 for doing it. #UFCAtlanticCity
Fiorot shoots, Blanchfield defends with a guillotone, Manon back up with Erin still on the choke! She loses it now, but fun sequence. #UFCAtlanticCity
Fiorot looks to be th better striker early. Small sample size and 5 rounds. #UFCAtlanticCity
