UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fiorot (also known as UFC Fight Night 241 and UFC on ESPN+ 99) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on March 30, 2024, at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States.[1][2]
The event will mark the promotion's tenth visit to Atlantic City and first since UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs. Lee in April 2018.[2]
A women's flyweight bout between Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot is expected to headline the event.[3] The bout was promoted to main event status when the original announced headliner, a welterweight bout between Sean Brady and Vicente Luque, fell through when Brady indicated he never signed a bout agreement due to dealing with an injury.[4][5] Luque was instead matched up with Joaquin Buckley in the co-main event.[6]
A light heavyweight bout between former UFC Light Heavyweight Championship challenger Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg was scheduled UFC 297, but it was postponed due to an injury sustained by Ulberg and was rescheduled for this event.[7] However, Reyes pulled out due to deep vein thrombosis and was replaced by Alonzo Menifield.[8][9] In turn, the promotion opted to move the pairing to UFC Fight Night 244 on May 11 due to undisclosed reasons.[10]
