We've got a female flyweight showdown in Atlantic City, where Erin Blanchfield is a moderate -188 favorite over Manon Fiorot (+162) in this UFC Fight Night main event.
This is widely considered a title eliminator bout to face the winner of Alexa Grasso vs Valentina Shevchenko later this year. Of note, this is Fiorot's first time as an underdog in UFC action. She's been at least a -200 favorite in all six of her UFC wins.

How To Bet Blanchfield vs Fiorot
"The Beast" is a live underdog, largely because she's expected to outclass Blanchfield on the feet. "Cold Blooded" presumably has the wrestling advantage, and she has a reputation for grinding out wins.
Fiorot fights cautiously, manages her distance, and has secured her last four victories by decision. Blanchfield loves to grapple and lean on her opponents, though Fiorot's 91% takedown defense may prove difficult to crack.
In the end, both gals have great chins and enough cardio to go the distance. And in such a close bout, I'll lean toward the 'dog.
