Erin "Cold Blooded" Blanchfield came into the UFC as a teenage prospect and wasted no time proving she belonged among the elite. Using a smothering, high-level grappling game and a composure that belied her age, she beat ranked contender after ranked contender to climb the women's flyweight ladder before she'd even turned 25.
The wins were serious: former two-division champ Rose Namajunas, former title challenger Taila Santos, and more. A loss to top challenger Manon Fiorot checked her momentum, but she answered with strong performances to stay firmly in the division's upper tier.
Blanchfield's appeal is her ceiling. She's a dominant grappler with a cool head and years of prime still ahead, exactly the profile of a future champion, which is why every fight feels like another step toward gold.
Why fans love Blanchfield
Elite grappling, a cool head under pressure and a clear path toward a title. She makes top contenders look outmatched.
