UFC Fight Night 219: Andrade vs. Blanchfield is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 19 at the popular UFC Apex Arena. The main card of the event will host women flyweights American Jessica Andrade and American Erin Blanchfield against each other. There has been a replacement in the main event. Instead of Brazilian Taila Santos, Jessica Andrade will appear in the octagon to test league prospect, Erin Blanchfield. The fight is planned for 01:00 UK time.
Even short notice can’t stop Andrade from delivering a good performance. The Brazilian is confident, so she challenges everyone. Definitely, Erin has not yet dealt with such a difficult opponent. Valentina Shevchenko has shown that Jessica can be fought, but can Blanchfield follow suit? We have some definite doubts about this, as physically there are few who can surpass the South American.
Jessica Andrade has agreed to take the next fight on a week’s notice. The former UFC minimum category champion is currently riding a winning streak of three fights. Her most recent victims include American Lauren ‘’Lucky’’ Murphy, Brazilian Amanda Lemos and American Cynthia Calvillo.
With that, the girl is on the hunt for another title shot at 125lb. The 31-year-old Brazilian’s overall record consists of 24 wins and nine defeats.
‘’Bate Estaca’’ has a crushing knockout power in every punch. In the clinch, she puts a lot of pressure on her opponents, working their heads and bodies with her punches. She also often uses her wrestling and jiu-jitsu skills, again using her immense physical strength.
The promising 23-year-old American Erin Blanchfield has been preparing for a stylistically similar opponent. Brazilian Taila Santos is also quite powerful and strong, so the game plan shouldn’t change much.
‘’Cold blooded’’ is now in the top 10 of the rankings, and a win over her future opponent would automatically put her in the title race. The girl has won all four of her fights in the UFC and has only lost once in her career (lost by a split decision to American Tracy Cortez), having fought just 11 fights in the cage.
Erin’s forte is wrestling. She is competent in taking take-downs and looking for ways to finish in the parterre. More often than not, though, she has managed to outscore her opponents on points.
