UFC Edmonton preview: Moreno vs. Albazi winner gets title shot? Can Blanchfield bounce back vs. Namajunas?

UFC returns this weekend with a Fight Night event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which features two very important flyweight bouts.

On the men’s side, former champion Brandon Moreno returns from a short break from MMA to welcome Amir Albazi back to competition after a series of surgeries. On the women’s side, ex-UFC strawweight titleholder Rose Namajunas looks to extend her winning streak by taking on young contender Erin Blanchfield.

Who will leave UFC Fight Night 246 with their hands raised? Could the respective winners in each flyweight bout potentially get the next shot at the title in their divisions?

MMA Junkie’s Brian “Goze” Garcia, Dan Tom, Danny Segura, and host “Gorgeous” George preview the main and co-main event of UFC Fight Night 246 and look at the potential upside for the winners of Saturday’s card.

Watch their discussion in the video above, and don’t miss this week’s complete episode of “Spinning Back Clique” below on YouTube.
