In the upcoming UFC Fight Night, women's flyweights Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber clash in a highly anticipated main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Blanchfield, ranked No. 4 by ESPN, comes off a unanimous decision victory over former champion Rose Namajunas. In contrast, Barber is unranked but has secured six consecutive wins, the latest being a unanimous decision against Kaylyn Cerminara. Experts and former fighters weigh in on their predictions, highlighting Barber's aggressive style and Blanchfield's tactical approach as defining factors in the fight's outcome.
I think it's going to be highly entertaining and competitive for the first couple rounds, but then Blanchfield's systematic approach to slowing down a fighter like Barber will be the difference. Blanchfield will slow Barber down, get on her back and finish her with a choke.
I think Blanchfield will look good early, but Barber is just, and you can quote me on this, she is the meanest [bully] I've ever watched fight or train. She does things to people just because it hurts.
