Blanchfield (13-2) is the No. 4 fighter in the official UFC women’s flyweight rankings. The 26-year-old Blanchfield was riding a nine-fight winning streak when she faced Manon Fiorot in the main event of a UFC Fight Night card in March 2024. Fiorot won that bout with ease, ringing up three 50-45 scores from the judges. The victory earned Fiorot a UFC 315 matchup against UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko, a bout Shevchenko won via decision.
Blanchfield took a step back toward a title fight in November when she scored a decision win over former UFC women’s strawweight champion Rose Namajunas.
MIAMI, FLORIDA – MARCH 09: Maycee Barber reacts after defeating Katlyn Cerminara in their women’s … More
Barber (14-2) is the No. 5 fighter in the UFC women’s 125-pound division. She opened her UFC career with a 3-2 record, but is undefeated since dropping back-to-back decisions to Roxanne Modafferi and Alexa Grasso in 2020 and 2021.
The 27-year-old Barber is riding a six-fight winning streak heading into UFC Vegas 107. Her most recent victory was a March 2024 decision win over Katlyn Cerminara.
Barber was schedule to face Rose Namajunas in July 2024, but she dropped out of that fight due to illness. Barber later revealed she had Epstein-barr virus.
In December she told Morning Kombat, “Everything’s going great now. It has been a long journey. I was so bummed when – well, first of all, I was so excited to fight Rose because not only was I fighting Rose, but I was also fighting in Denver where I made my UFC debut. So for me, it was my first main event.
“It was a very huge opportunity for me, and I was so excited and then I was devastated when I was told, ‘Hey look, you’re not going to fight on this card.’ Obviously the health is more important. So I was very devastated, but I have made a lot of progress coming forward, and I can’t wait to be back.”
