It’s shaping up to be a great card. Philadelphia’s Sean Brady against North Jersey’s Vicente Luque as the headliner. Excellent fight, and the co-main is a banger between Flyweight title challengers Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot. Neither has lost a UFC fight. They’re both stone cold killers.
Delco’s Andre Petroski is also on the card, as is former welterweight champ Chris Weidman. It’s the UFC’s first trip to AC since 2018, when Kevin Lee fought Edson Barboza.
RE: Brady, he had a really disappointing showing against Belal Muhammad in October of 2022, then was inactive for a full year before rebounding with a great submission win against Kelvin Gastelum last month. Brady is 16-1 and 6-1 since joining the UFC. Luque is 22-9-1 and slightly underrated in my mind. Should be a fantastic card.
