Why did Erin Blanchfield vs. Manon Fiorot become the main event?

Erin Blanchfield was originally set to face Manon Fiorot in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 241. The No.2-ranked women's flyweight and No.3-ranked women's flyweight will now compete in a five-round bout that will headline the promotion's first trip to Atlantic City since UFC Fight Night 128 in April 2018.

The card was supposed to be headlined by a welterweight bout between Sean Brady and Vicente Luque. The No.6-ranked welterweight reportedly never signed the contract as he is recovering from an injury. Instead, the No.9-ranked welterweight will face Joaquin Buckley as 'New Mansa' looks to enter the promotional rankings for the first time in his UFC career.

Blanchfield and Fiorot's bout will serve as a women's flyweight title eliminator. The former will enter on a nine-fight winning streak, while the latter is riding an eleven-fight winning streak. Both have won all six bouts in their UFC career.
