Erin Blanchfield ‘Surprised’ She Got Molly McCann Fight - MMA Fighting 

Ariel: Erin, we’re you surprised? Erin: not really Ariel: are you sure Erin: maybe a little Title: Erin was surprised

Erin really put the pedal down on Molly. What a dominant woman. Molly has such drive and grit, for Erin to do what she did says a lot about her as a fighter, props and respect to her. Can't wait to see her fight again.

This girl is already a legitimate title contender before turning 24. This is the best young star in womens mma. SUPER impressive

She is all class and grace and will be a big star ⭐️ absolute trouble for division good luck girls

This kid's understanding of half guard positions and body control is impressive but has to be consistent from now on. Not seen much of that except for Kayla, Weili, Ronda, Valentina and Tatiana doing it at that level...

This young lady is awwwesome...class act

Erin should of got a bonus for her performance

I won't pull out on Blanchfield🤤

She is so good, awesome work

I never heard of her till the other night but I really like her. Hope she has a great career .

I’ve been following Blachfield for some time now. Not surprised by the win but impressed by the domination. Would love to see her fight Maia or Andrea Lee next.

This girl oozes confidence. She knows she’s skilled 😂

That crucifix was devastating. Beautifully done

Erin cooked that Meatball!! Paddy is next, them hype trains are getting stopped

erin did a phenomenal job, congrats on the win

I know McCann was a hype job, but still that level of domination by Blanchfield was impressive. The transitions from takedown to crucifix to kimura to the second kimura were slick. She's a split decision loss away from undefeated and that one split decision loss was back when she was only 19 years old. In a year or so this young woman might give Valentina a serious problem. The UFC has a potential superstar here. Hopefully they start promoting her accordingly.

Dana should have gave her 50K also. That was an impressive fight.

I didn't realize how gorgeous this woman was until this interview here... I mean she is absolutely stunning, and she can fight which makes her even more super attractive...

Love Erin. She is a amazing fighter! Molly was very gracious in defeat.Both of these ladies are absolutely class acts.🥰👍🏾👍🏾

This chick was so composed in her fight, it was scary. She was always thinking in there, always aware of her positioning, how to keep the position, blocking escape routes, setting up her opponents movements INTO another favorable position for her. Just wow.

She ate that meatball

UFC sees that Molly isn’t a draw(without Paddy) and they wanted to expose her.

Erin you just got a WHOLE BUNCH of new fanssssss 😊

Great performance. Will definitely follow you.

Huge fan of Blanch and called it as a bad match up for Meatball.

looking forward to seeing Erin fight again.

Dominant performance 🔥💯

Just another day in the office. Love Erin.

I like her demeanor at such a young age. Just matter of fact, maybe dry sense of humor and professional. I am a fan

She shut down the meatball hype train! I'm a fan . Well done. Nice IG page too 😍 Bright future ahead 👊

Welcome to the blanchfield show everyone. Glad she's getting her shine and the rest of yas are caught up. #Andnew is her future

im Erin Blanchfield's new biggest fan 💯 ending that meatball hype train.. I'm not a fan of paddy n molly so thank you Erin 🙏🏾 but i like that she's taking her time chasing the belt.. slowly climbing the rankings, and when she gets to Valentina.. it could be a changing of the guard 💯

Maycee said she wants people ranked ahead of her when asked about Erin or Casey. Would love to see Erin against anyone of them.

She is Bad Ass

ERIN $HOULDA GOT THE SUBMISSION BONU$!!! DOMINATED MOLLY

this fight was crazy, consider me a new erin blancfield fan. excited to see where she goes from here

THAT MEAN MUGGIN AFTER THAT BRUSH OFF WAS FIYAAAAAAAAA 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Way to force a caption on her! She clearly said she is not surprised. Ariel just forced it on her and she then says, "maybe, I am a little surprised".

Great fighter,im a new fan of this girl.

Erin is going to run through the entire division!

Erin your awsome. Lots of respect from nz and Ireland 🇮🇪

This girl put on a clinic, the fight absolutely was so one sided. Future Champ 100%

This one here future champ. Completely dismantled a very tough opponent. Did it with composure, when Molly got all the attention at weigh in was obvious what she said “ this is your hometown but I’m getting all the cheers. She blew it off and said something like don’t mean nothing. She serene killer. Instant huge fan like everything about her. Pure MMA new gen phenom type. Very intelligent.

The fight between Erin and Santos should be the card’s headliner…this is going to be a big test for Erin against a world class fighter…

I didn't know who she was before but I do now she bad ass

Dear Friends, I read some comments here that relate her to a possible challenger for the title, so let's take it easy, because: 1st) The athletes she took none have the pedigree of the top5 in the category today; 2nd) Let's remember that Molly is good at striking, but easily knocked down as we saw against Taila Santos, Lara Procópio and Gillian Robertson; 3rd) Erin had a hard time standing up when she was thwarted in her takedown attempts against J.J.Aldrich; 4th) Erin probably doesn't have the agility to dodge the quick blows that Valentina delivers; 5th) Erin doesn't have a body frame like Santos, who is probably a 135 lbs fighting at 125, to face Valentina in the hand-to-hand fight; And finally, we will only know what Erin is made of, as soon as she progresses against greater challenges in the category, because so far her game has been matched against all that she has faced so far.

She a real new Yorker she got that dirt off her shoulder

Enjoyed you whipping the CANN

I have to admit, I watch a lot of UFC, but not too many women’s fights. I wanted to see this fight because I had seen Molly before and wasn’t sure why she was an underdog this time. And I was so freaking impressed with Erin, oh my God! I will make it a point to watch each of her future fights, this girl’s got a lot of talent! And for 24 years of age, her skills are very ripe. If she doesn’t lose her way somehow, she will surely become champion one day.

She looked real good out there! 👋 👊 💯

Next time don't boo her new York

Thank Erin!🙏🏼 for derailing that cringe train.

I've been following her for a bit now. Her skill set is WAY better than Molly's. Not surprised she dominated

no questions on Valentina? or if she can cut to 115 or wants to fight at 135?

Great fighter and fun to listen to

great fighter-never heard of her b4 this

Erin has my support 🇬🇧

My new favorite fighter .congrats Erin.

That was the crucifix from hell, I was seriously worried about Molly losing her veneers.

I was surprised as well because the UFC was hyping Molly up and the UK fan base is huge.

She is Beautiful

Very impressive

I have my eyes on this girl she is already one my favorite fighters, she got skillz that payz the billz

Not to sure about this, maybe for a much needed payday,but it would be a ground fight for sure, that Diez can dominate easily, but not at the long range stand up so well, is just my opinion.

Those little punches did no damage. Would been more annoying then hurting

Have a new love

Unbelievable performance

I like this girl, she destroyed that hype train!

she's so nice

I will never boo you, ever!

I think she will be the champ by 2023 end.

Great performance and celebration but I still see a huge gap between the champion and everyone else.

Erin looked really good in the fight.

Lauren Murphy would be good test

1 more fight for her then fight for the title. @5:40 - 5:50 savage hahaha

Would really want to see her and Makenzie Dern . Dern seems a bit slow for 115 in stand up. One can make the argument 115 has a much deeper talent pool than the 125 ers if you remove Valentina

It was the result every self respecting Brit wanted

After she came in on short notice and beat Maverick it was clear she's a top 3-5 flyweight right now

Thank you for ending her hype . Hopefully paddy is next

Now that's class in victory! Hope she goes all the way to the belt! Great win.

Another 10 minute interview?! What is wrong with you ariel? Normally you're the best in the business, but you slackin on Erin dude...

Erin will soon Rule the flyweights! Believe That!

Don’t let them push you into Valentina.

Valentina by Domination

Glad someone made Molly meathead gi away the next 6 months. I am a fan now 😆

I’m a fan

could get that shot pretty quick with a win over anyone in top 7, maybe loser of Murphy vs Andrade

Molly got owned!!Love it

"annnnnnd newwwwwww" on the way lads

Valentina now has a threat.

She made the fight look easy. Paddy army are going after her. 🥺

Super beast 💖💖

She got up and brushed her shoulders off lol the disrespect! Let’s go

Big step up beating Molly at msg

The match makers played Molly…that match up was terrible!

Meatball got Mollywhopped! I had to double check my TV, thought it randomly switched to some female to female domination.

She has mixed skills of Makhachev & Oliveira. Great talent will be a Champ for sure.

My favorite thing about Erin is she comes across as a legitimate stoic cold-blooded killer, who has seen everything, isn't impressed by anybody and does not suffer fools.

New female khabib

It's hilarious how short her interviews are. Both interviews. She must hate doing interviews.
