UFC Edmonton: What Came Next for the Main-Card Winners
UFC Edmonton took place on November 2, 2024. Brandon Moreno defeated Amir Albazi by unanimous decision, Erin Blanchfield beat Rose Namajunas by decision, and Dustin Stoltzfus knocked out Marc-André Barriault. The matchup ideas below are editorial suggestions, not announced bookings. Derrick Lewis was not on the Edmonton card.
Moreno and Blanchfield
Moreno returned to the win column against Albazi. He later faced Steve Erceg and then Lone’er Kavanagh in Mexico City in February 2026; Kavanagh won by unanimous decision. Blanchfield’s Edmonton win was followed by a planned May 2025 bout with Maycee Barber, which was canceled after Barber was not medically cleared. Blanchfield returned against Tracy Cortez at UFC 322 and won by second-round rear-naked choke.
The other proposed matchups
Stoltzfus’s knockout of Barriault was a notable result, but the suggested fight with Gregory Rodrigues was not booked. The proposed Lewis–Jairzinho Rozenstruik pairing was also hypothetical; Lewis did not compete at UFC Edmonton. Matchmaking suggestions describe possible pairings and do not establish negotiations or bookings.
The available clip shows a brief exchange around an autograph request, not a formal bout or public training session. Diaz’s caption framed it as a joke, and the reporting attributes the video to his Instagram Story. Keeping that context avoids reading a staged, playful moment as evidence of a real confrontation.
