'Everyone else in the rankings, they've had their shot at the title. Whoever wins this fight does expect a title shot. I feel like this fight is a title eliminator'
Jasmine Jasudavicius and Erin Blanchfield are preparing to face each other in a co-main event at UFC Fight Night, with both fighters viewing the bout as a potential title eliminator. Jasudavicius, ranked sixth in the flyweight division, and Blanchfield, ranked fourth, believe a decisive victory on Saturday will put the winner in prime position to challenge newly crowned champion Natalia Silva.
Both contenders noted that other fighters in the division's top rankings have already received championship opportunities, creating a clear opening for a fresh challenger. The two athletes previously competed in Edmonton at Rogers Place in 2024, where Jasudavicius defeated Ariane Lipski and Blanchfield defeated Rose Namajunas.
