UFC Atlantic City Results: Manon Fiorot Records Clear Cut Win Over Erin Blanchfield
By FCF Staff
Manon Fiorot took another step towards fighting for the UFC’s flyweight title on Saturday, as the French fighter recorded a clear cut win over Erin Blanchfield.
Fiorot faced Blanchfield in the headliner of the Atlantic City event, and was awarded all five rounds by every judge. The victory was Fiorot’s seventh straight in the UFC.
The card also saw former middleweight champ Chris Weidman return to the win column. Initially, Weidman was awarded a third-round, TKO win over Bruno Silva. But, after replays showed Silva had incurred an eye poke before Weidman prompted a stoppage with strikes, the fight was overturned to a unanimous decision.
Here are the card’s complete results.
