Erin Blanchfield Prepares for Fight Against Jasmine Jasudavicius in Edmonton

Erin Blanchfield is set to compete against Jasmine Jasudavicius at UFC Fight Night in Edmonton, having arrived a week early to adjust to the environment. The New Jersey native previously fought in Edmonton two years ago, where she secured a victory against Rose Namajunas.

Blanchfield expressed the advantages of being familiar with the city and its conditions, which she believes will enhance her performance. Additionally, her training partner Fatima Kline, who has faced Jasudavicius before, has provided insights that could aid Blanchfield in her upcoming match.

This fight carries added significance following the recent vacancy of the flyweight title by Valentina Shevchenko. Blanchfield aims to make a strong statement in the octagon, potentially positioning herself as a contender for the title in a now more open division.
