UFC Vegas 69 had its ups and downs, especially the event’s main card. That portion of Saturday’s fight card opened up with a fantastic matchup between Jim Miller and Alexander Hernandez. The three fights following that crackerjack of a scrap brought the temperature inside the UFC Apex down a few degrees. However, things heated back up when Erin Blanchfield and Jessica Andrade faced off in the main event.
In the evening’s headliner, Blanchfield, who has been rising in the UFC women’s flyweight division since her promotional debut in September 2021, answered any lingering questions about her readiness to challenge fighters at the top of the division.
