      @@Bodz2023 Manon doesn't have striking power like that and is a big weight bully for a reason I think she fought someone good at her real weight class she would lose but tbh she's very good so even at 135 I can still see her winning title before that happens, but blanchfield got found out I always knew if she fought someone who can defend her grappling she will get beat she was getting beat up by talia until she gassed out and couldn't defend her wrestling
      She was taking hard shots from andrade who fought her on short notice, her striking and striking defence has always been mid like this so knew if she couldn't take manon down and work her grappling that she would get her ass kicked, only reason manon didn't stop her is because she has a solid chin and manon doesn't have power doesn't change the fact she did look like an amatuer with top tier grappling in there because that's exactly what she looked like

Erin wont be able to just tackle this much bigger taller fighter and get the win as usual, Erins gonna have to figure out how to stop Fiorots best weapon her jab this is gonna be a complicated if not the most complicated fight Erin has had yet

      Because of her grappling right? grappler vs striker with the striker being so big in size and well versed in grappling defence the wrestler couldn't take her down, someone looks like a big time weight bully like manon and can defend always have to be wary to what extent I had erin to win as well but wasn't naive to have her as a lock like many casuals here knew this fight was 50/50 from jump and if erin couldn't make her grappling work she's screwed better to go with over 2.5 RDs and bet no one in such a fight tbh
