Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the bout is planned for UFC 322, with MMA Junkie first to break the news and MMA Fighting confirming.
  • The event date is Nov. 15, and the venue is expected to be Madison Square Garden in New York City, though the location has not been officially announced.
  • Blanchfield and Cortez first met at Invicta FC 34 in 2019, where Cortez won a controversial split decision.
  • Blanchfield rebounded from a 2024 loss to Manon Fiorot with a November win over Rose Namajunas, and her May fight with Maycee Barber was canceled shortly before walkouts.
  • Cortez saw her long unbeaten run end against Namajunas in June 2024 and returned with a unanimous decision over Viviane Araujo at UFC 317 in June, marking a busier campaign than prior UFC years.
