EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – Erin Blanchfield hasn’t experienced loss too much as a professional mixed martial artist, but she’s still familiar with it.
At UFC Fight Night 246 on Saturday, Blanchfield (12-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) aims to bounce back from a largely one-sided March unanimous decision defeat to Manon Fiorot. The loss was the first noncontroversial one of her pro career.
“Losing always sucks and it takes a little getting over,” Blanchfield told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “I didn’t harp on it for too long. I just let my body heal from the fight and then I was back to training. Yeah, I feel like me and my coaches watched over it. We found things we wanted to improve on, my distance management and my striking and my wrestling and everything as I always do. So I kind of focused on that.”
