UFC Edmonton video: First faceoffs for Moreno vs. Albazi, Blanchfield vs. Namajunas

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – The UFC Fight Night 246 headlining bouts of Brandon Moreno vs. Amir Albazi and Erin Blanchfield vs. Rose Namajunas had a scenic stare down Thursday.

The pair of flyweight bouts are both scheduled for five rounds, and go down Saturday at Rogers Arena and stream on ESPN+.

All sides have been respectful toward one another in the lead-up to the event, and that remained the case when they engaged in official staredowns in the chilly outdoors of Edmonton.

Watch the video above to see the faceoffs for Moreno (21-8-2 MMA, 9-4-2 UFC) vs. Albazi (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and Blanchfield (12-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) vs. Namajunas (13-6 MMA, 11-5 UFC) before UFC Fight Night 246.
