UFC on ESPN 54 faceoff video: Height disparity noticeable for Erin Blanchfield vs. Manon Fiorot

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – UFC on ESPN 54 headliners came face-to-face for the first and only time before they fight inside the cage.

Flyweights Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot stayed intense yet respectful as they faced off Friday during the ceremonial weigh-in at Boardwalk Hall, the same venue that hosts Saturday’s fights.

Blanchfield (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) aims to maintain her perfect UFC record in her second promotional main event. Blanchfield holds wins over Jessica Andrade and Taila Santos among others.

Fiorot (11-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC) has surged up the divisional ladder as well, and comes off her biggest victory to date, a decision over Rose Namajunas.

Check out the the faceoff in the video above.
