Erin Blanchfield

Across the provided nine-fight UFC sample, Blanchfield shows a recurring pattern of winning both by grappling-based finishes and by decision. Observed results include four submission victories (Cortez, Andrade, McCann, Aldrich) and multiple unanimous decisions that reached the final horn, including two five-round bouts (a win over Namajunas and a loss to Fiorot). This mix suggests she has demonstrated the ability to sustain her approach over longer distances as well as to convert positions into finishes earlier in fights. Her per-minute striking volume is relatively high in this dataset (5.24 significant strikes landed per minute) while absorbing 4.25 per minute. That differential suggests she can operate at a solid pace, though it does not by itself identify where exchanges occur or how judging dynamics played out. Defensively, she is listed with 58% striking defense and 78% takedown defense. On the grappling side, the snapshot credits her with 1.96 takedowns averaged and 0.9 submissions averaged, aligning with the frequent submission outcomes in her record. A careful inference from this combination is that her game often includes proactive wrestling or clinch-to-ground pathways, with enough control time or positional advantage to threaten submissions. Recent form in the log includes a five-round decision loss in 2024 followed by wins in a five-round decision and then a round-two submission in 2025, indicating a rebound within the provided timeline.
