Streaking flyweight contender, Erin Blanchfield appears to have missed out on a potential vacant title challenge at the bantamweight limit – instead booking a potential championship-eliminator at the flyweight limit against one-time title chaser, Taila Santos at UFC Fight Night Singapore on August 26. In Kallang.
Blanchfield, the current number three ranked flyweight contender, has so far enjoyed an impressive five-fight undefeated run during her tenure with the UFC, most recently turning in a one-sided second round submission win over former strawweight champion, Jessica Andrade with a rear-naked choke back in February. The win earned Blanchfield a Performance of the Night bonus to boot.
