UFC Edmonton went down final evening (Sat., Nov. 2, 2024) inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which noticed Brandon Moreno defeat Amir Albazi by way of unanimous resolution within the Flyweight fundamental occasion of the night (extra on that right here). Within the co-main occasion, Erin Blanchfield defeated Rose Namajunas — additionally by way of unanimous resolution (recap right here) — to safe her spot behind prime girls’s 125-pound contender, Manon Fiorot, for the subsequent title shot.

Winner: Brandon Moreno
Who He Ought to Struggle Subsequent: Brandon Royval rematch
Moreno bought again within the win column in a giant approach final evening, however a shot on the title received’t be subsequent since he was on a two-fight skid previous to his win. In the mean time, division king, Alexandre Pantoja, might be defending his strap towards Kai Asakura at UFC 310 subsequent month, so I wish to see Moreno and Royval run it again to see who will get the winner. Royval defeated “The Murderer Child” by way of split-decision earlier this yr, so let’s go at it yet one more time to see who might be combating for the belt in 2025.

Winner: Erin Blanchfield
Who She Ought to Face Subsequent: Alexa Grasso
After Blanchfield locked down the most important win of her profession over a former champion in Namajunas, “Chilly Blooded” known as for a battle towards one other ex-title holder in Grasso. A title battle between Valentina Shevchenko and Manon Fiorot is all however booked, so Blanchfield must sit idle for some time if she opted to attend for her title shot. Within the meantime, I like that she’d want to remain busy towards Grasso, who misplaced her title to “Bullet” at UFC 306.

Up subsequent for “The Gorilla,” a battle towards Spann is sensible as a result of “Superman” additionally simply bought again within the win column, snapping his three-fight skid by defeating Ovince Saint Preux at UFC 307 by way of submission.

Winner: Jasmine Jasudavicius
Who She Ought to Face Subsequent: Winner of Karine Silva vs. Viviane Araújo
Jasudavicius secured her third straight win with a powerful submission win over Ariane Da Silva. She’s going to get nearer to the High 10 — she is at present No. 14 — however will probably want yet one more win to get there. I wish to see her tackle the winner of the upcoming showdown between Silva (No. 11) and Viviane Araujo (No. 9), who’re set to throw down on Nov. 16 at UFC 309 in New York Metropolis.

Winner: Dustin Stoltzfus
Who He Ought to Face Subsequent: Abusupiyan Magomedov
Stoltzfus secured an enormous win by completely obliterating Marc-André Barriault by way of devastating knockout within the very first spherical (see it right here). It’s a superb bounce again win for him after he was beforehand knocked out himself by Brunno Ferreira. Stoltzfus has been relatively inconsistent with regards to choosing up wins, as he’s simply 3-5 in his UFC profession. He’ll look to maintain his present momentum getting in his subsequent outing, and I’d like that to be towards Magomedov, who’s coming off a win off the aforementioned Brunno Ferreira at UFC 308.
