May 31, 2025
Blanchfield's main event fight with Maycee Barber on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas was cancelled after Barber was not medically cleared to compete.
ANALYSIS
The announcement was made as Barber was literally set to make the walk to the Octagon. She missed weight by half a pound on Friday morning, although it's unclear if the cancellation is a result of that. Blanchfield said in an interview with ESPN's Megan Olivi afterwards that she will not entertain Barber as an opponent moving forward.

Blanchfield is scheduled to compete against Maycee Barber in a flyweight fight at UFC Vegas 107 on May 31, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Blanchfield will look to begin her 2025 fight campaign the same way she ended her 2024, with a rebound effort that gets her closer to title contention. For her last fight, Blanchfield outlasted former UFC Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas in Edmonton.
Responds with huge rebound effort
FlyweightUFC
November 2, 2024
Blanchfield defeated Rose Namajunas via unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 48-47) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Edmonton.
ANALYSIS
Blanchfield was coming off a lopsided unanimous decision defeat to Manon Fiorot in her native New Jersey in late March. She got off to another terrible start here, dropping each of the first two rounds on all three scorecards before finding her way. Erin's striking is not a strength and it showed, as Namajunas won virtually all the stand-up exchanges between the two. Blanchfield was finally able to get her wrestling game going in Round 3 and it turned the tide of the fight. She dominated two of the final three rounds on the mat. Round 4 could have legitimately gone either way, but all three judges scored it for Erin and that ended up being the difference in the bout. The loss to Fiorot is a problem in terms of Blanchfield earning a title shot anytime soon, but she's always going to be in the conversation considering the division's shocking lack of depth.

August 14, 2024
Blanchfield has agreed to face Rose Namajunas in a flyweight contest at UFC Edmonton on November 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports. This will be the night's co-main event, according to UFC chairman Dana White.
ANALYSIS
Blanchfield is coming off a tough loss via unanimous decision against Manon Fiorot at UFC Fight Night in Atlantic City. Her entire performance during that fight was disastrous but the 25-year-old will have a chance to bounce back against Rose Namajunas, although the work will not be cut out for her, as Rose is off back-to-back impressive victories.
Not competitive in main event

Blanchfield lost to Manon Fiorot via unanimous decision (45-50, 45-50, 45-50) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Atlantic City.
ANALYSIS
Fighting in front of family and friends in her native New Jersey, Blanchfield's performance was an unmitigated disaster. She was unable to get her grappling game going against her much bigger opponent, and Erin never had a prayer at consistently coming out on top in the striking exchanges between the two. There's a case to be made that Fiorot was simply a bad matchup for Blanchfield stylistically, but her performance was lacking regardless. Erin won't be 25 years of age until this coming May and still has an exceptionally high ceiling, but this effort was a reminder she has plenty of work to do to get there.
