Update: Official

 

[Ares Black]

Huge if true.

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

I’ll take “fight goes the distance” for $1000 Alec!

 

[blaseblase]

Blanchfield is gonna take a beating if she can't take the fight to the ground.

 

[svmr_db]

Read his description lol he's calling it "verbally agreed" like the UFC wants to do the fight just because Rose & Erin expressed interest in separate interviews.

These scummy instagram pages I tell ya.

 

[Dorkman]

Good to see rose staying active.

 

[oski]

Huge if true.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Rose better not show up with the Esparza gameplan since she's facing a wrestler.

I imagine the winner might be next after Manon. But this ridiculous trilogy is still a couple of months away. So who knows when the winner will be ready to defend against Manon. The UFC has totally bogged the division down. Now that it’s actually competitive.

So does the winner of this fight sit around for a year+, waiting for their TS?

It’s ridiculous. Great fight but has no real meaning for a while. Unless the champ, or Manon gets injured. Then the winner of this could slide in there.

This isn't a real fight. Rose & Erin saying they want to fight each other in seperate interviews does not equal a fight booking. This IG page is trash.

 

[Staph infection]

She has to stay active to take care of Pat the bum Barry

The scary thing is what if valentina wins a controversial/close fight

We could be looking at a 4th fight

 

[payton]

In a way, this fight does make sense. Rose needs another win to secure a spot in the top 3.
And I assume Blanch wants to be active. 125 is hot rn.

She surely wood if Pat wasn’t there to instruct rose to shadow box

 

[Deleted member 585708]

She saw the Fights to Make thread and that was that!

 

[Mittens]

Sounds good. And I guess Rose think she can strike it out like Manon did and have an easy days work.

Bell rings: "Oh, shit, she can wrestle?"

*'Nam flashback to Carla Esparza*

Erin's hand gets raised.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Can't say I'm interested in this fight.. as long as Rose can keep it standing she auto wins. I'd rather see Maycee vs Rose rebooked tbh..

Plenty of time for Rose-Maycee.

Now that Rose actually looks like a contender I prefer this fight next. No need to derail Maycee.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Might as well make this happen, I don't mind.

Nah Rose vs Maycee makes way more sense, that's a clear title eliminator. (After Manon Fiorot gets her shot)

After losing to Fiorot I don't think Blanchfield should be booked for a title eliminator, she should be 2 wins away from a title fight right now imo.
