The women's flyweight division will have a new No. 1 contender this weekend. MMA's best young prospect, Erin Blanchfield, will face fellow title contender Manon Fiorot in the main event at UFC Fight Night on Saturday (10 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN+). Blanchfield, No. 1 on ESPN's 2023 25 under 25 list, could earn a title opportunity against champion Alexa Grasso and become the youngest champion in UFC history if she can get past Fiorot. Blanchfield is ESPN's No. 4-ranked flyweight.

Sterling isn't about to fight in the Octagon.
