"I'd love a title shot. Valetina and Weili are fighting tonight, I got a big finish on the same card. I think it just makes sense, I've been in the top five for a couple years now,"
"You never know. So many things change in MMA, who's ready and when it can happen,"
"I think when you win fights, things will come to you. So you just need to keep winning, and be undeniable,"
Erin Blanchfield defeated Tracy Cortez by rear-naked choke in the second round of their UFC 322 rematch at Madison Square Garden. The 2019 Invicta FC split-decision loss to Cortez was avenged with a decisive submission, improving Blanchfield's record to 14-2. Blanchfield expressed interest in a title shot, noting her top-five status and the timely finish on a major card featuring Valentina Shevchenko vs. Weili Zhang. Other contenders such as Natalia Silva remain in consideration while Shevchenko could potentially move up to face other stars. Blanchfield emphasized readiness, continued winning, and becoming undeniable as her path forward.
