UFC Edmonton's Erin Blanchfield: "A Little Bit of the Mystique" Gone from Shevchenko
Briefly

"I did lose my last fight, but I've had a lot of great performances before then. And even my last fight, I went five rounds and it was a tough fight, we had a lot of back-and-forth. So it feels really good to still be fighting someone in the top five, still be in the title picture."
"As far as I know, they told me that I was going to be the co-main but that everything was still going to be the same so it would still be five rounds... I was a little bit [disappointed] at first, because I was worried it was going to be three rounds when I'd rather five, just to get that experience. But once I knew it was five rounds, I wasn't worried, and the poster looks cool, I love having my face on it."
"I think Manon, she's a really big girl for the weight class. She knows how to use her range and her size. I think Valentina has a lot of tools, but size and range can always be a challenge."
