On November 2nd, the UFC returns to the “Great White North” to take part in UFC Fight Night at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.

The main event features former two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield in a women's flyweight bout, while the co-main event features a heavyweight bout between Derrick Lewis and Alexandr Romanov.

Namajunas (13-6 MMA, 11-5 UFC) is currently ranked as the No. 5 flyweight by the UFC and is coming off two consecutive wins over Tracy Cortez and Amanda Ribas. The fight will be her third appearance in 2024 as she looks to move closer to title contention. She is 2-1 since making her flyweight debut in 2023 with a loss to Manon Fiorot.

Blanchfield (12-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) is hoping to get back to winning ways after suffering her first loss in the UFC to Fiorot in March. She is currently ranked No. 8 in the UFC's flyweight division and began her career in the promotion with six straight wins before being defeated by Fiorot.

Lewis (28-12 MMA, 19-10 UFC) returns to action after stopping Rodrigo Nascimento in the third round in May. The stoppage increased Lewis' record for most knockouts in UFC history to 15. “The Black Beast” is currently ranked as the No. 11 heavyweight by the UFC.

Romanov (17-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) has lost three of his last four fights, including a first-round submission loss to Jailton Almeida in June. “King Kong” began his professional MMA career with 16 straight wins and 15 finishes before slipping to a 1-3 record over the past two years. He is ranked 13th by the UFC in the heavyweight division.
