We have a new headliner for UFC Vegas 69.
During the broadcast of UFC 284 on Saturday, UFC play-by-play announcer Jon Anik revealed that Taila Santos was out of her fight against Erin Blanchfield. The promotion has found a short-notice replacement for Blanchfield, who is now sharing the Octagon with Jéssica Andrade.
“Erin Blanchfield was to face Taila Santos in the main event,” said Anik. “Santos is out and in steps the former strawweight champion and likely future Hall of Famer Jéssica Andrade. She just competed in Brazil [and] won against Lauren Murphy. Jéssica Andrade obviously is a factor in multiple divisions.
