News Erin Blanchfield vs Rose Namajunas official UFC Edmonton Main Event

[sonhow]

Convinced Dana and the UFC harbours a deep hatred towards Canada ever since GSP bailed with the belt.

Im not sure Dana is booking anything. Seems like more of a talking head at this point. His passion seems to be powerslap

 

[Khaosan]

This is the most Edmonton fight ever.

Yeh, I can see that happening.

Then again, I thought Erin had a decent chance of beating Manon like that, but she didn't in the end.

Rose's cardio did look fine against Tracy and Ribas over 5, but Erin is a different sort of pressure and danger.

Gonna be a fun fight.

Tracy had low output and spent a lot of time just watching and being mesmerized by Rose's feints and movement. Ribas showed the fight IQ of a potato and still put on a very competitive fight with rose simply by virtue of kicking a lot lol.

I just dont think erin will be caught watching rose and let rose dictate the safe pace that she likes. Erin has shown a stupid good chin, too, so I struggle to see rose cracking it. I think it looks similar to the Andrade vs. Rose fights in the sense that, rose will have a lot of success early, but the pressure just won't stop and eventually erin will get to her, be it by her ugly (but high output) striking or by her grappling.

I don't think rose has the physicality to shrug Erin off the way manon was. We'll see

This might be more painful to Edmontonians than the Oilers losing in Game 7.

Is the event going to be held at the Indian casino? That'll be one empty ass arena.

LFG Cold Blooded Erin Blanchfield!!

I'm so tired of seeing the UFC like this, maybe 1 out of 8 cards are ok these days. Meanwhile it's more expensive than ever, make it make sense.

I got Erin btw.

Dana needs to put me on this card 8-0 and right next door to Edmonton

She was tested by the ufc and an Epstein-barr virus infection that we found.

I don't know you, but I would take you as a main-event, instead of this one.

Also, early prelims will start at 1 AM local time and be broadcast the next day on a tape delay.

What a treat for Canada.

Half of the fights in this card so far are WMMA

Yeh, just so we're clear: I agree with literally ever sentence of how you're reading the fight lol. Exact same thoughts for me.

I just hope Erin is the dog and paying decent.

 

[Mittens]

The Fiorot fight makes me think this should be pretty easy for Rose stylistically.

But it's Rose, so 50/50.

 

[Wreckless]

It's flat out hostility at this point.

It's an absolute joke.

I made a thread last year complaining about this lol

Why Does the UFC have to do Canada Dirty like That?

Really, Dana? Nunes Vs. Pena 3? 4 years without any events, not even a fight night card and this is the best this bald headed pink bozo can do? You got Australia, UK, and a load of other countries that are located on the other side of the globe that get stacked cards every year, sometimes...

Why are they making Rose fight this bum? She should be fighting the winner of Chef Chenko/Alexa Grasso, or let her beat Marcy Barber to a pulp.

She should not be getting a shot over Fiorot and Barber is still recovering from the last time she had to pull out of the Rose fight. This is the right fight
