Miranda Maverick -140 vs Erin Blanchfield
Fight is at 125 lbs and is +200 to end inside the distance.
This is a very interesting fight between two ladies who have bright futures in the promotion. Mirand Maverick is probably the more polished fighter as they both sit, and that is likely why she sits as a favorite. Maverick will have an edge in the stand up portion of the fight. Her striking is more advanced, and she will be able to land more volume, and likely the better shots. That said, this is mixed martial arts and it is not just a striking affair. Maverick is going to have to defend takedowns, and that aspect of MMA has not been perfect for her thus far in her UFC career.

Erin Blanchfield is an exceptional grappler that has a very bright future. The 22 year old still has some work to do on her striking, but already possesses quite a great BJJ game. She is not a pure wrestler, but finds ways to get the fight to the mat. She used that to absolutely dominate in her UFC debut. We have seen Maverick taken down by both competent grapplers she has faced in the UFC, and this fight will be no different. It is far from a foregone conclusion that Blanchfield will be able to work her way to a submission or ground and pound finish. However, Blanchfield will be able to control large periods of this fight on the floor, and with that notch rounds for herself.
What To Bet
All in all, I see Blanchfield as the more likely fighter to win and she comes with a plus figure price tag. A decision win is more likely than a finish, so we will just play her on the flat line of +120.
Betting Pick: Blanchfield +120
