#4. Erin Blanchfield

Erin Blanchfield is only 23 years of age and has all the potential in the world, riding a five-fight win streak into her third UFC performance. After her most recent victory over Miranda Maverick, 'Cold Blooded' is set to take on the very experienced J.J. Aldrich as the first bout of the night.

This bout has significant top fifteen implications written all over it. Though the female flyweight division has a lot of talent, Blanchfield would fit right in. Her lone loss comes from a 2019 split decision against none other than fellow flyweight and rising star Tracy Cortez.

The Eddie Bravo Invitational jiu-jitsu champion will look to once again have her hand raised, a feeling she's very familiar with already despite her career being a very young one.


#3. Askar Mozharov

With a record of 19-12, Askar Mozharov doesn't have the most attractive history. In fact, there's quite a bit of controversy surrounding his stats, as there were, and potentially still are, some fraudulent numbers involved. However, this will all be neither here nor there as soon as the cage door closes.

Ever the powerful fighter, 'No Mercy' aims to leave no room for speculation on his UFC record as he takes on Alonzo Menifield.

Menifield is a heavy-handed fighter, but the newcomer from Ukraine should be more than willing to stand and trade in hopes of securing a successful start to his run with the promotion.

In a bout where action is expected and the judges are not, Mozharov would love to continue his finishing ways at the expense of a well-vetted competitor such as 'Atomic'. The light heavyweight division is one of the most exciting within the organization. Should 'No Mercy' come in and take Menifield out in his debut performance, he could make quite the leap in the line of contenders.
