Erin Blanchfield vs Jasmine Jasudavicius

👊 Blanchfield has claimed victory in 14 of her 16 professional bouts and currently rides a two-fight win streak. Last November, the American submitted Tracy Cortez in the second round, following a hard-fought five-round decision win over Rose Namajunas. Jasudavicius brings plenty of experience as well, with 15 wins and four losses on her record. After coming up short against Manon Fiorot, the Canadian bounced back by earning a unanimous decision over Karine Silva. Notably, nine of Jasudavicius’s 15 victories have come via the judges’ scorecards.

Blanchfield are expected to hold the edge with her more versatile wrestling and her ability to consistently control opponents from top position. However, Jasudavicius defends takedowns well and is comfortable engaging in prolonged positional battles. Both women possess strong grappling skills, making it unlikely that either will fall victim to a submission mistake. The most likely scenario sees Blanchfield gradually building an advantage through control and activity, but struggling to secure a quick finish. Our pick: Erin Blanchfield to win.
