Next fight booked for March
Blanchfield is scheduled to face Manon Fiorot in a flyweight bout at the UFC's March 30 event in Atlantic City, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Blanchfield's upcoming bout could have No. 1 contender implications for the women's flyweight title. Blanchfield is undefeated as a member of the UFC with her most recent win coming against Taila Santos via unanimous decision in August. She has quickly moved herself up the division ranks and seems to be one win away from matching up with Alexa Grasso for the championship belt.

Remains perfect in UFC
Blanchfield defeated Taila Santos via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Singapore.
ANALYSIS
This was the first time in a half-dozen UFC bouts that Blanchfield had to face some adversity and wasn't able to completely dominate her opposition. She lost Round 1 on all three scorecards before rebounding to win the final two frames. It's an extremely positive sign that Erin was able to emerge victorious in a fight in which she failed on all 14 of her takedown attempts. To Blanchfield's credit, she kept firing them off, and that led to her racking up 8:08 worth of control time, most of which was spent with her pinning Santos to the fence. Erin turned just 24 years of this past May, so there are likely to be bumps in the road along the way, but the upside here is massive.

Will fight Santos in Singapore
Blanchfield will take on Taila Santos in a flyweight bout at a UFC event in Singapore on Aug. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Blanchfield was scheduled to face Santos back in February, but that fight was called off after the latter fighter's coaches ran into visa issues. Now, the two will get their chance to square off, and it will come after Blanchfield took out Jessica Andrade with a rear-naked choke on extremely short notice. She'll look to remain perfect in the UFC and improve her record to 6-0.

Stuns Jessica Andrade in main event
Blanchfield defeated Jessica Andrade via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:37 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Originally scheduled to fight Taila Santos here, Blanchfield quickly accepted this bout against Andrade about a week ago after Santos was forced to withdraw. The end result was a potential career-defining win against one of the best female fighters on the planet. In what was by far the biggest fight of her career to date, and Blanchfield looked totally comfortable. She battered Andrade most of the opening round before powering in for a takedown early in Round 2. She took Jessica's back with ease and choked her out in an instant. It was a legitimate championship-caliber performance from a woman that won't be turning 24 years of age until this coming May. Andrade is 7-4 in her past 11 fights. Those setbacks came against Valentina Shevchenko, Rose Namajunas, Zhang Weili, and now, Blanchfield. The first three are current or former UFC champs, the last name might be next on that list. In the meantime, she'll take home a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for the outstanding, upset effort here.
