UFC 269 – Miranda Maverick vs. Erin Blanchfield – Fight Analysis & Predictions

The last PPV event of the year is stuck with great fights. One of the favorite fights is a female battle between two young ladies, Miranda Maverick and Erin Blanchfield.

Miranda Maverick

Miranda Maverick is one of the most promising fighters in the UFC. He already held 3 battles, and all of them were very impressive. She made her debut against Liana Jojua and earned a first-round TKO victory when the doctor stopped the fight because the corner could not stop the bleeding from Jojua’s nose. Her second bout was a bit harder against Gillian Robertson, but finally, Miranda earned dominant victory. Her last fight was against Maycee Barber, which ended up as a split decision. Many fighters think that Miranda was robbed that night (me, too).

Erin Blanchfield has fought only once in the UFC. 22 years old fighter made a statement when she dominated against Sarah Alpar. Just like her rival, she is coming from Invicta FC. Her only loss is in Invicta FC against Tracy Cortez, who is now a member of the UFC and remains undefeated in a new promotion.

From my point of view, Miranda Maverick will outstroke Erin. Also, there is a high opportunity that Miranda will use his submission and ground game to earn the victory in this bout. 5 out of 9 victories Miranda earned via submissions, and people underrate her grappling powers because she is strong in standing. However, Miranda will win this fight, and 1.8 is a fantastic odd. I would give Miranda 1.2-1.3 because I think she is one of the strongest prospects in this division.
