Rumored Erin Blanchfield hinting that she getting another main event?

[markys00]

Fiorot is the only fight that makes sense for both girls.
Santos makes sense too but I feel like Dana will have her fight down in the rankings over pulling out from her cornermens visa issues. The UFC seems to punish fighters for not fighting under those types of circumstances.... I've fought without my coaches in my corner before... it fucking sucks so I don't blame her.

Honestly Fiorot vs Blanchfield is a championship caliber fight.... I'd favour the winner over Grasso or Shev just based on how insanely impressed I have been from both girls. Flyweight overall is weak but the top 5 is looking extremely talented and competitive.

So it's not the only fight that makes sense? Very bisping of you to say one definitive statement only to contradict yourself in the next.

Great, another low budget/low quality apex Main Event.


The UFC is selling the casuals chicken sh*t as chicken salad and they’re fine with it.

Erin gonna get sparked flat with that shitty cardio kickboxing she has. Will be spectacular to watch the salt flowing here!

I've become a big fan from her last few fights. She shut McCann up and stanched Andrade! Looking forward to it and hope she's a future title challenger.

Another main event most MMA fans wouldn't watch, pass.

Starched? She made Andrade tap. Starched means to knock someone stiff. A good example of a starching would be ben askren VS Masvidal. Ben gets kneed and his entire body goes stiff.

It’s a response to the French chick asking for a 5 round fight.

Starched? She made Andrade tap. Starched means to knock someone still. A good example of a starching would be ben askren VS Masvidal. Ben gets kneed and his entire body goes stiff.

OK got you. I mean Erin just beat her to the punch. Jessica got a few good shots on her but couldn't get that bomb and Erin was hitting her more than I expected (and making me uncomfortable because I'm an Andrade fan). And that led to her getting the choke in round 2. I kind of was expecting Andrade to knock her out. I was surprised and very impressed with Erin.

And yeah Askren got starched bad. Ben got a cannon to the head that sent him to that Funkytown in the sky for a few hours. They found a piece of his 'fro in the fan seats afterwards.

I think it's a response, as Manon Fiorot has asked to main event UFC Paris against Blanchfield

Makes a lot of sense, so the winner would be next in line against the winner of Grasso/Shevchenko rematch

 

[NicholasJBasile]

She really impressed me in her last fight. Her striking has improved so much, and her ground game is already nails. Her VS Fiorot would be a good scrap for #1 contender.

If its against fiorot or santos i'm ok with it

Nope, wanting to see the highest level of fights does not make someone a casual. An argument can be made for it making someone more of a fan. There are only a couple of wmma fights that can be made which should ever headline or even maincard a ppv, and this isn't one.

Put that shit back to the minor leagues and let me watch high level fights.

These posts complaining about wmma and telling everyone about how they're not gonna watch it is basically like telling everyone you're a vegan.

Everybody always claims that "nobody would watch wmma" or that people don't want to see it, but the UFC's been putting wmma fights in cards and main events and they're still doing okay business-wise. Just because YOU don't like it or don't think it's entertaining enough doesn't mean you're reflecting everybody else's opinion, lol; and telling everyone how you feel is essentially just being a crybaby.

But please cry more. It's enjoyable.

I think it's a response, as Manon Fiorot has asked to main event UFC Paris against Blanchfield

It's quite baffling, IIRC she(Manon) didn't want a TS, saying she wanted one more fight before ; then wants to main event Blanchfield in Paris... that's IMO a very risky move (following a maybe overly cautious one).

Nevertheless it's probably better to fight Erin now, than the version of Blanchfield with 6-7 more years of experience at the highest level.

Anyway Fiorot is like ten years older than Blanchfield, and probably won't be fighting for long now. I wish her all the best, and hope she's gonna have, at least, a TS.

Obviously supporting Fiorot, but I'd be a lot less confident than I was for the Gane/Tuivasa fight, at the 1st Paris event.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

book it

Agreed. Book it Dana!

 

[ilfirin]

I'd damn well hope so considering how she's been steamrolling opponents. She's coming for that belt for sure.

 

[JarlSkuld]

By "MMA Fans", you mean "Casuals".

...and woman-haters. So...plenty of insecure Sherdoggers.

It was nice when she paused and leaned back for half a sec before snapping the choke on andrade
