Andrade last loss was Crucifix to G&P, Blanchfield last win was Crucifix to Kimura. The Power goes to Jess but Blanch got HIGH technique!

key to mention that the loss by Crucifix GnP was by Shevchenko, arguably the GOAT versus Erin who does not have elite striking like the former

Putting a 23 years old against those dudes like Tailo Santos and Jessico Andrade, is a televised murderer. Andrade is a tank, too strong for the division, highly skilled on the ground and with heavy hands with KO power. They want to destroy Blanchfield, this kind of murderer is too soon for a 23 years old. And if you think Blanchfield can do the same ground game with Molly, you people don't know anything. Andrade destroyed Claudia Gadhelia (Go watch that fight) and this is too much. UFC don't want to give the time to new prospects to improve their skills, like in this case, they are just throwing to the lions right away.

I love Erin! I am impressed with her maturity. I went back and watched all her grappling matches I could find and enjoyed every minute.
Man Erin’s super cool I’m like almost worried for her lol Andrade hits so hard and is explosive. But if she can get it on the ground it will be very interesting.

That just exposed how terrible Molly's takedown defense and ground game is. Look at the opponents Molly has been matched up with up to Blanchfield. They were all sloppy brawlers. Any girl with decent grappling has had it easy with Molly. I hope Erin wins, but this is a significant step up. I hope her wrestling is on point for Andrade, or this will get really ugly for her.

Meatball mcan was easy once on the ground. But with Andrade, they are putting a lion agains her. Andrade is too strong, highly skilled on the ground (go watch his fight against claudia Gadhelia), and with KO power, and it's battle tested with everybody. It's a "too soon" fight for a 23 years old.

Crucifix is coming up for Andrade. Blanchfield just different technically.
This girl is an absolute killer-- and a sweet and genuine kid besides. I like that new UFC stars are focused on being themselves; I believe it sells as well as ridiculous trash talk.
No way shes gonna run through her the way she did molly. I just dont see it but then again she may hit her eith a crucifix as well who knows.

It’s either Jess gases too hard and Erin snatches a sub somewhere. Or Andrade catches Erin and she drops cause of the power. Andrade is a gatekeeper in every weight class she fights in (and that’s 3☠️)

Erin Blanchfield wins by Kimora or Crucifix. Jessica Andrade wins by murder. Jess hurt her fists punching Lauren Murphy so many times. I wonder if that pops up in the fight.
