The Ultimate Fighting Championship has announced that Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield will face off on November 2 when the promotion returns to Edmonton.
When it comes to high-profile flyweight fights, it doesn’t get much better than this. While Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso are busy battling it out for the title, Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield are set to throw down in the Great White North.
It’s a bout that makes a lot of sense, too, especially when you consider where they are in the rankings. Blanchfield is sat at #3, whereas Namajunas is sat at #5 – and you’d have to think the winner would’ve done enough to earn a crack at the crown.
