Prediction for the UFC Fight Night 225 Erin Blanchfield vs Taila Santos fight which will take place on August 26th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

24-year-old Erin Blanchfield is an experienced and skilled fighter, ready for the most complicated challenges.

Already, Erin has third place in the ranking of the lightest division, and a victory over Santos will bring her the status of the next contender for the title.

It's hard to know the limits of a girl who looks stronger from fight to fight. In the UFC, the American had five fights and won each of them.

Blanchfield's strength is wrestling. She has a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and in fights, she aims to go to par terre as quickly as possible, where she begins to beat an opponent. In the previous battle, Erin smashed former champion Jessica Andrade.

The 30-year-old Taila Santos got into the UFC by defeating Estefani Almeida at the Dana White Challenger Series tournament in 2018.

Santos came in the status of an undefeated fighter, having a powerful record of 15-0. However, in her debut fight in the UFC, Taila lost to Mara Romero Borella by a split decision.

But then she had four wins and a fight for the championship title. In many ways, Santos got a chance to fight for the belt. The division champion Valentina Shevchenko has already destroyed all the top opposition, even several times. Therefore, Santos had enough victories over not the most powerful opponents to fight for the belt.

Before the fight, only her relatives and best friends probably believed in Taila. Experts did not leave Santos a chance, but she surprised the whole world. She put up the heaviest resistance, losing only by a split decision following the results of five rounds. Many believe that Valentina won only because of her past achievements, and the judicial decision raises certain doubts.

Both women deserve each other. Blanchfield's struggle will play a crucial role in this confrontation, thanks to which she can control Santos. Taila looked great in the last fight, but how she will show herself against such a wrestler is still a question. We will see a more skilled version of Blanchfield in this fight.
