Erin Blanchfield
Last November, Erin Blanchfield beat former UFC Strawweight champion Rose Namajunas to return to the win column after being outpointed by recent contender Manon Fiorot earlier in March. The loss, Blanchfield's first in the UFC, ended her five-fight winning streak. The 26-year-old has raced up the 125-pound class rankings since debuting in 2021, dispensing of ranked opponents along the way. Her UFC record now stands at 7-1. Currently ranked at number 4 in the division, Blanchfield is also in the top ten of the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings. The BJJ black belt is tied with Montana De La Rosa and Karine SIlva for the second most submissions in UFC women's flyweight division history.

Maycee Barber
A Dana White Contender Series 13 alum, Maycee Barber is on a six-fight consecutive run that has seen her tied with Saturday's opponent for the fourth longest win streak in UFC women's flyweight division history. "The Future" is ranked at number five in the 125-pound class and holds down the 12th spot in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings. Her Karate background is partly responsible for her three knockouts, giving her the second most knockouts in women's flyweight division history. Barber has not fought in over a year, with her last walk to the octagon leading to a decision over Katlyn Chookagian at UFC 299 in March 2024. During her six-fight streak, Maycee Barber has secured wins over Amanda Ribas, Montana De La Rosa, and Miranda Maverick. She last lost in 2021.
