Erin Blanchfield, Maycee Barber react to Valentina Shevchenko's title win vs. Manon Fiorot
Erin Blanchfield, Maycee Barber react to Valentina Shevchenko's title win vs. Manon Fiorot Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber weren't entirely surprised by Valentina Shevchenko's win over Manon Fiorot. Shevchenko retained her flyweight title earlier this month by outlasting Manon Fiorot in the UFC 315 co-main event. Blanchfield (13-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Barber (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who square off in Saturday's UFC on ESPN 68 (ESPN, ESPN+) headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, weighed in on the outcome of the fight. With a win, both fighters are looking to secure the next shot at Shevchenko (25-4-1 MMA, 14-3-1 UFC). "I think Valentina looked really good that night," Blanchfield told MMA Junkie and other reporters at Wednesday's media day. "She looked right back to her old self. She kept her distance, she was countering really well. I think Manon was kind of coming in a little bit harder. "Usually she's more of a point fighter, uses a lot of movement. But Valentina was almost luring her into her game. Valentina was just out-striking her. Manon would get some takedowns, but she couldn't really do too much with it, and I felt like Valentina was really dictating that fight." Barber said she expected the outcome as it happened. "It was close," Barber said. "I didn't have a lot of emotion towards it just because I've been so focused on the fight that I have, but I think that Manon is a great fighter. I don't think she has a whole lot of championship personality, but I also didn't really have any surprise that Valentina continued to do what she's been able to do best, and that's have dominant performances over these women."

Billy Ray Goff pleased Ramiz Brahimaj's UFC on ESPN 68 misfortune matched his own
Billy Ray Goff pleased Ramiz Brahimaj's UFC on ESPN 68 misfortune matched his own Show Caption Hide Caption Hear Billy Ray Goff's plans to break Charles Oliveira's bonus record UFC on ESPN 68's Billy Ray Goff spoke to MMA Junkie at media day for his welterweight bout vs. Ramiz Brahimaj on Saturday in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS – One man's misfortune... paired with another man's misfortune... creates fortune? That's the case with Billy Ray Goff and Ramiz Brahimaj ahead of their UFC on ESPN 68 clash Saturday at the UFC Apex. Initially scheduled to fight different opponents, Goff (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Brahimaj (11-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) were paired when those fighters fell off the card due to visa issues. "With the last one, I had two people pull out and couldn't get another opponent that was on the same card and whatnot," Goff told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. "I'm just happy somebody else also lost a fight, and we were able to match up. I'm just excited to get in there." Goff, 26, has not competed since May 2024 due to multiple opponent withdrawals. Now that he's back, Goff's goals are ambitious – but he's determined. "Whether time off or not, I want to beat (Charles) Oliveira's record for bonuses," Goff said. "I've wanted to get a bonus every fight. I should've gotten a bonus in my debut, but whatever. I'm shooting for a bonus every time I get in there. ... I've got 19 more to go." He'll have an opportunity to knock that number down to 18 on Saturday against Fortis MMA's Brahimaj, who has proved a tough out for all. "He's definitely going to be dangerous on the ground," Goff said. "He's got a bunch of submission wins. He's good on the feet. I think he's less of a threat on the feet than Ko was. I think it's going to be a little more comfortable on the feet, and I have to be more aware on the ground."
