A steady stream of changes throughout the build to fight night left us with a four-fight preliminary slate, but the reduced number of bouts didn’t result in a reduction in entertainment by any stretch.

Alice Ardelean and Rayane dos Santos opened the show by spending 15 minutes swinging hammers at one another, with Romania’s Ardelean getting the best of things on the scorecards. That was followed by a competitive short-notice bout between Bolaji Oki and Michael Aswell, where the Dana White’s Contender Series grad distanced himself from Aswell as the fight progressed.

From there, Jordan Leavitt made an impressive return to action, submitting veteran Kurt Holobaugh in under two minutes, before things wrapped with an all-Brazilian flyweight battle between Jafel Filho and Allan Nascimento.that went the distance.

Check out what happened in the opening slate below and then come join us for the main card.

Allan Nascimento defeats Jafel Filho by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Brazilian flyweights Jafel Filho and Allan Nascimento faced off in the final preliminary card bout of the evening, engaging in a fascinating chess match on the canvas.

Filho was in completely control throughout the opening round, putting Nascimento on the canvas and working to dominant positions and chasing submissions, getting close with a chin-strap guillotine choke at one point. Nascimento spent the second half of the middle stanza on top after Filho got a little high while trying to take the back, with Nascimento alternating between landing short blows and hunting for openings. Early in the third, Filho found the back in a scramble, only for Nascimento to dump him off the top and control his positioning for the remainder of the frame.

Allan Nascimento Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night Blanchfield vs Barber

When the scorecards were collected and tallied, it was Nascimento that came out ahead. He's now won three straight and could be a dark horse in the division, but after missing weight on Friday, the Chute Boxe Diego Lima representative has talked about possibly moving up to bantamweight.

Jordan Leavitt defeats Kurt Holobaugh by submission (anaconda choke) at 1:39 of Round 1

Jordan Leavitt wasted no time getting himself back into the win column after returning from an 18-month layoff, submitting Kurt Holobaugh in the first round.

Leavitt put Holobaugh on the canvas less than 30 seconds into the fight, and immediately started looking for opportunities. He stayed sticky as the veteran defended and scrambled, suplexing Holobaugh to the mat and attacking a guillotine choke before transitioning to deep anaconda choke that almost immediately put the recent TUF winner to sleep.

Jordan Leavitt Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs Barber

The Las Vegas native hadn’t fought since his loss to Chase Hooper in November 2023, but looked outstanding here, working to his strength immediately and dominating from there. This was an excellent effort and crucial win for “The Monkey King,” and his on-the-spot celebration wasn’t bad either.

Bolaji Oki defeats Michael Aswell by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Bolaji Oki got himself back into the win column with a hard-earned victory over game short-notice replacement Michael Aswell.

A member of the Dana White’s Contender Series Class of ’23, the 29-year-old “Zulu Warrior” widened his advantage as the fight progressed, with his superior power and physicality serving as the key differentiators. While Aswell had positive moments, especially late in the first round, fighting up a division and entering without the benefit of a full training camp proved to be a bridge too far, as Oki took command of the fight in the second and cruised to victory.

Though they went the distance, the result was never in question, as Oki earned a clean sweep of the scorecards to get things moving in the right direction again. Oki elevated his record to 10-2 with the win and continued to present as a powerful prospect in the 155-pounds, while Aswell established himself as someone to keep tabs on when he gets the chance to compete in his natural weight class later this year.

Alice Ardelean defeats Rayanne dos Santos by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Business kicked off in the strawweight division with Alice Ardelean and Rayanne dos Santos delivering a wildly entertaining scrap right out of the gates.

Alice Ardelean Post-Fight Interview | UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs Barber

With both women still in search of their first UFC win, they each came out swinging, with Ardelean getting the better of things through the first two rounds, landing with heavier, more punishing blows. Sensing she was down on the cards, dos Santos came out firing to start the third, straightening Ardelean up in an early exchange, only to have her gas tank start to run dry, allowing the Romanian to steady herself and spend the back half of the round getting the better of the exchanges once again.

The judges were called upon to determine the victor, and when the scorecards were tallied, it was Ardelean that came out ahead. Consistently entertaining and clearly durable, this was a signature effort for the 33-year-old, who moved to 10-7 overall with the win.
