A women’s flyweight clash pitting Erin
Blanchfield
against Rose
Namajunas
will serve as the main event for the
Ultimate Fighting Championship
’s return to Edmonton on Nov.
2.

UFC CEO Dana White initially confirmed the news to Sportsnet on
Wednesday night. In the co-main event, Derrick
Lewis
will square off against Alexander
Romanov
at heavyweight. The UFC Fight Night event will be held
at Rogers Place and will also include the following four bouts:
Ariane da Silva vs. Jasmine
Jasudavicius
; Marc-Andre
Barriault
vs. Dustin
Stoltzfus
; Jamey-Lyn
Horth
vs. Ivana
Petrovic
and Chad
Anheliger
vs. Cody
Gibson
.

Blanchfield began her Octagon tenure with six consecutive triumphs
— besting the likes of Jessica
Andrade
and Taila
Santos
— before falling to Manon
Fiorot
via unanimous decision in the UFC on ESPN 54 headliner
on March 30.

A two-time strawweight champion, Namajunas dropped a three-round
verdict to Fiorot in her 125-pound debut. “Thug” Rose has since
rebounded to post decision triumphs over Amanda
Ribas
and Tracy
Cortez
in her next two flyweight appearances.

Lewis, the UFC’s all-time knockout leader with 15, has won two of
his last three promotional outings. Most recently, “The Black
Beast” scored a third-round TKO of Rodrigo
Nascimento
in the UFC on ESPN 56 headliner on May 11.

Romanov began his professional career with 16 straight wins, a run
that included five straight triumphs in UFC competition. “King
Kong” has fallen on hard times recently, losing three of his last
four. In his last outing, Romanov suffered a first-round submission
loss to Jailton
Almeida
at UFC 302.
