LAS VEGAS – Dana White was very impressed by Erin Blanchfield’s performance at UFC Fight Night 219.
Blanchfield (11-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) emerged as a top flyweight contender when she submitted former champion Jessica Andrade in the second round earlier this month and earned a Performance of the Night bonus.
White was especially impressed by Blanchfield’s willingness to engage on the feet with power puncher Andrade before she capitalized on the ground and submitted her.
