Passed over for a title opportunity at UFC 332, Blanchfield heads into Saturday's fight with Jasmine Jasudavicius determined to leave no doubt about who deserves the next shot at Natalia Silva.
Erin Blanchfield aims to secure a UFC women's flyweight title shot with a victory at UFC Edmonton after being bypassed for the vacant belt. Writer Chuck Mindenhall argues that Blanchfield held stronger title credentials than Wang Cong, who previously fought Natalia Silva for the vacant championship at UFC 332.
