The UFC is heading back to Edmonton, Alberta, for an event, and the promotion will do so this year.

Recently, UFC President Dana White announced the promotion is holding a Fight Night card in Edmonton on November 2nd, and that a bout between Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield will headline.

The former strawweight champ Namajunas (13-6) has gone 2-1 since moving up to flyweight. In her last outing, in July, she recorded a unanimous decision win over Tracy Cortez.

Blanchfield (12-2), meanwhile, is coming off a decision loss to Manon Fiorot in March. That defeat snapped her 9 fight, winning-streak.

In addition, the card will feature a heavyweight bout between contenders Derrick Lewis (28-12) and Alexander Romanov (17-3).
