Amid a constellation of renowned names and high-stakes championship duels at UFC 281, Erin Blanchfield seemed to drift slightly under the radar with relatively muted fanfare. Meanwhile, her opponent for that night, Molly McCann was cruising in on a three-fight win streak with significant hype behind her. Yet, as the curtains closed on an electrifying evening of combat at the Madison Square Garden in New York, Blanchfield undeniably carved her place amongst those who etched the boldest narratives and hijacked the momentum of her opponent. That win marked her fourth triumph inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship Octagon, and the American rides on a nine-fight win streak leading up to her next assignment against Manon Fiorot at UFC on ESPN 54.
