She did like 50 interviews in that same spot
She’s not just talented she’s tough. Love her honestly ❤
24 years old... so impressive man. We've all been saying she will be champ and she keeps showing why
after her last performance theres a lot for her to work on
Striking defense is a zero.
Because she mauls everyone
Yeah her striking is pretty reckless. Great young prospect though if she works on her stand up.
@@micahbodha6129 she is capable striking just gotta develop a little more but she's touching gold eventually
She is honest with her own performance and that will allow her to improve her game. She also showed that her striking doesnt really degrade when she engages in grappling. Lots of pluses.
Erin is my favourite female fighter and from the first fight I watched I could see the championship coming in her future. Pure class
Mine as well however she may lose this one, she is fighting a strong and fast striker, Erin, depends on her take downs to win and in my opinion she will not be able to take Fiorot down, look at Fiorot vs Namajunas, fight, you see Fiorot, moves very fast.
@mdiazdiaz5612 tbh mate I don't think Rose did bad even though she was compromised, even though the fight was terrible she didn't get battered but I think Erin is alot stronger than anyone Manon faced so far. I also think that this fight will either show how good either fight is. If anyone wins by stoppage or a clear win they are not being stopped by anybody but we will see.
I like her character. She’s just a bad ass chick. What she did to Molly the can, was literally what you see when you google “ice cold❄️🥶”. My little sister was screaming the entire bout. Dominant display & unfazed will💯
Don't worry Erin, I got your back. People say it was a boring fight. I disagree, how many championships fights have we seen with no excitement? Izzy has some snoozers. I'm team Erin all the way. This young lady is just 24 years old and look at where she is. I knew this was going to be a very tough fight for her. Think of everything she learned in those 15 minutes. Think of all the adversity she faced, a very tough opponent in Taila Santos, she's fighting her biggest fight halfway around the world in Singapore. She showed up two weeks early, got climatized and shook off any jet lag (Just read what Khabib said about his fight with Gaethje). She was very well prepared to win this fight. Thats exactly what she did, she WON the fight. Close, yes, but the outcome was correct. Unanimous Decision, not a split. Even if it had been a split, what did you expect? This is top 5 talent she's facing. If that's not championship mettle I don't know what is. Who has Manon really beat? No disrespect but her resume is made up of mediocre fighters. No champions, no legit title contenders, just girls on the roster. Manon says Erin showed us her real level. Duh, its beating top 5 competition and that's why Erin is ranked #2 in the world now and she passed Manon doing it. Manon should focus on Thug Rose, because when Rose is 100% focused and engaged, she is virtually unbeatable. Don't believe me just ask Zhang. Not once, but twice. Still don't believe me, ask Joanna, not once, but twice. Lastly even if Valentina gets her belt back (and that's a big if) why would there be a trilogy right away? Valentina had 7 successful title defenses. You can't win the belt from a champion with a resume like that, then turn around the very next fight and lose the belt to Valentina, and then expect a trilogy. On what grounds?
I THINK YOU GOT THE HOTS FOR HER
@@georgeiles6165 LOL, nope just an assessment
Nope, never reading all that
@@ppurdyone Don't worry im with you i'll defend her until the day she retires gotta root for my New Jersey Natives
@@marktomlin5818 At least one person sees the light lol. I know not everyone will agree, and that's fine. Team Erin.
Crazy her confidence
She took some damage because she moves forward…credit to her for trying to take the fight to Talía and still getting the W!
There's no realistic scenario where Valentina and Alexa go straight to the trilogy after the next fight. Alexa's reign doesn't warrant an immediate rematch if she loses. If Valentina goes down 2 in a row then she'd have to take a step back.
Valentina wins 3-2 rounds and gets a point deduction or one fighter wins 3-2 rounds and the fighter with 2 rounds gets a 10-8 round.
It's rare but happens occasionally.
@@extendedrealityextendedrea5382 I mean not super likely but you're right. A draw scenario is definitely something that could happen.
100% in agreement with that. Sorry to say this but this fight is lose-lose for Bullet, and I'm a big fan of hers too. Shes 35.5 years old. If she wins, she will lose the belt to the very next challenger. One reason is she'd most likely be 36 when she fought again. There's no scenario where I see her beating these up-and-coming young women. If she loses there's no scenario where I see her fighting for the belt again, unless there are multiple injuries in the top 5. At that point she'd need two wins in the top 5, and she'd probably be closer to 37 years old when that would happen, again lose-lose.
@@ppurdyone36 is not as old as you’re making it seem.
@@ppurdyone Is it really a lose-lose situation.
Imagine Shevshenko wins the rematch.
There is a possibility Shevchenko and Weili are fighting in a super fight(there were rumours about it in the past and both said they are wanting to fight each other.
It is possible UFC will book(with Valentina as a champion again)Valentina vs Weili,Suarez vs Yan for the No 1 contender in strawweight and Blanchfield vs Fiorot/Namajunas for the No 1 contender in flyweight just 1-2 weeks after Shevchenko vs Weili.
There would be the chance for Shevchenko to make her immortal with a win over Weili and could retire(and Blanchfield vs Fiorot/Namajunas would be for the vacant title then).
Soon to be Champ for sure. Ice cold.
Blanchfield! She should be in line for a title fight NEXT!!
at the end of the line ?
@@bondjamesboy casual
@@bnegs521 That's a casual take. Manon has been at the top of flyweight for ages and has beaten #1, how isn't she next?
@@tyson9114 Manon beat number on at 125???🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I'm the casual?
Title eliminator between the two of them if she beats Rose
Love her attitude youngest champ right here 2024
Striking defense is very poor and Natalia Silva will smash her
Natalia Silva beats Grasso as well 😂
She sooo young . You see habib or islams initial fights the end product, you can imagine where erine would be
She held on Santos and waited for the time to run out.She won no doubt but it was a boring fight.If she wants to fight for the belt she will need more than this .
She will need more punching to the face
I dont beleive she won done nothing Santos caused more damage pushing someone against the cage holding them there is not winning a real fight i know they see it as control that needs to change i am sure most people would agree about it i can not see any champion ability in her she is tough maybe in a couple of years when she learns to strike
@@georgeiles6165 yeah it was a terrible fight.Erin doesnt deserve to fight for the belt after a fight like that.She needs to prove that she belongs in the title picture and her last fight didnt do that.
Nah, you're casualness is showing. Santos had nothing for her and was completely negated offensively. Santos just beat Valentina too but was robbed the decision. Erin is the real deal, and you? A disrespectful bum.
Blanchfield would be -250 against Fiorot
Sick hat Nolan
She’ll get the title eventually but her zero head movement get hit in the face constantly style will not make her a long reigning champ.
She is only 24 chill dawg
@@wideyeoman1018getting punched in the face doesn’t matter what age you are will destroy your Brain
@@wideyeoman1018 Who do you think you are calling a dawg?? Shut up Doofus.......
8:12 Is why you're here.
I love Erin, I am a big fan of Her's, she is gorgeous. Erin, depends on her take downs to win, we can all see that, the only reason she beat T. Santos is because Santos, got tired and Erin, was able to take her down. I don't see Fiorot getting tired, Fiorot is a striker, stronger and faster than Erin. The only way Erin can win this one is by becoming a better striker than Fiorot i don't see this happening. What Erin is going to get out of this fight is a very bloody face, and a setback. My advice to Erin, is please become a super striker for this fight and don't rely on your take downs. Please win for your fans!
Erin in five round fights is gonna be tough to beat. She has great cardio and stamina. She is strong and just has dog in her. She needs to improve on striking and striking defense. Still young at 24.
Erin 😍😍😍😍😍
Love that nose
She wasn't the best in that last fight. I was afraid for her. Super super close
She’s use to the trash talk she’s a jujitsu practitioner. 😂
??
wtf is that suppose to mean
Hey, I see what you are saying but look at it this way, Rose and Erin, are completely different people fighters, Erin, comes straight at you for the take down, because of this she will get battered, Fiorot is a quick and strong striker, she will not tired and let Erin, take her down she is aware that Erin, is going to try and take her down. On the other hand, Rose is quick she moves around in all angles, she is a complete fighter with moves kicks and jujitsu. As you can see, she beat the best Champions the UFC has ever had Joanna and Zhang, Weili, not once but twice. Rose is not Rose anymore she lost her confidence when she fought Esparza, that was a boring fight because Rose, was afraid that Esparza would take her down. Rose vs Fiorot, Rose, went after Fiorot, but Fiorot was afraid to let Rose get close to her, so she won on points by moving.
This interview starts with the talk of travel to fight. Manon always had to travel to fight because the French felt MMA was too violent so she always had to deal with jet lag, now that she can fight at home its goin be a whole new ball game. She will easily beat ROSE,ERIN and GRASSO her real challenge will be Valentina and she likely wins that fight too. Manon is the future. I love Valentina but I think her style will cost her.
Manon is 33.5 years old, she aint the future. Shes about to be the past.
Grasso beat Valentina. It wasn’t a fluke that’s how good she is. She’s also one of the very few people to hit Valentina as cleanly as she did. Valentina is no slouch and I’m not slagging on her. She was champion for a reason but the competition is getting better in the division. As it should.
@@ppurdyonethat’s old in mma lol she’s got a few more years. Or she’ll be the ufcs new Holly Holm.
Lol, I agree with that. She has a few more years but a champion? I don't see it. I watched her last Fight against Kaitlyn. Manon did not look like a champion to me lol.@@markusbaker1161
Erin Blanchfield should've got Maycee Barbers Nickname
Savage $$$
I really wanna know where that dog inside her comes from. People like that normally have had some dark experiences that harden them like that.
New Jersey 😂
luke ‘the virgin’ murray
you’re 300Ibs and never trained a second in your life besides eating contests alone in moms basement
East Patterson shes from or now its called Elmwood Park
@@marktomlin5818 I'm not American but it sounds like a rough area. Is that what your trying to say.
Her voice is ok for me. That is how she talks.
I like her but hope she gets humbled
As Usual..🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
She’s a kid still
BITCHFIELD is Awesome!!!!
Erin my queen❤
This young lady is mean.
Female khabib coming to clean house
Erin has def competed against higher level than Manon
With a W on saturday Manon resume would be:
-former champ Rose
-contender Katlyn
-contender who gave Val problems Maia
-contender at BW Mayra
- Tabatha Ricci
She definitely would deserve it over Erin but I have a feeling this fickle media members would be the other way around just cause Erin speaks english and the whole youngest female champion.
Manon barley beat Chookagian been inactive for a year . Erin fought 3 times also she's 24 yrs old 🤓
"Maia giving Val problems" was Maia winning 1 round? Blanchfield just beat someone who actually gave Val problems.
Batshit take
Ok
Bueno Silva wasn't the same as she is at Bantamweight she changed the weight class for a reason
Blanchfield beat Andrade who destroyed Chookagian(fiorot vs Chookagian was pretty close)and i'm sure Andrade would beat Maia as well
Santos and Andrade are way better than Chookagian,Maya,Ricci(who isn't a flyweight,she said she feels way better in the strawweight division).
But who knows what the UFC will do,in the case Fiorot will have a good win over Rose she would have a strong argument here because she is ranked higher than Erin and beat the No 1 Chookagian(as Fiorot fought her)but Erin has a strong argument too with a convincingly victory over Andrade and a win over Santos(who was ahead vs Shevchenko before she got compromised because of a clash of heads).
Manon will kick her ass
Erin, depends on her take downs to win, we can all see that, the only reason she beat T. Santos is because Santos, got tired and Erin, was able to take her down. I don't see Fiorot getting tired, Fiorot is a striker, stronger and faster than Erin. I would love for Erin, to win. If Erin, can win this one, she will definitely get a title shot.!
Rose beat Manon so now I hope Erin blasts Manon
Who cares what she has to say. Manon was asked a question and she gave her honest opinion. Now her panties are in a bunch about it 😂😂😂
Does she always talk like that all the time? Her voice is really annoying 😮💨
