Bragging rights: Blanchfield vs Fiorot - Who wins and how?

[sfer1]

I voted Blanchfield by decision, but I'm not so sure after watching the ceremonial weigh-in. She looks one weight class smaller than Fiorot.

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

Well the Andrade sub was nice so let's top that eh

 

[Siver!]

Manon by Decision.

I think this fight is going to be hard god damn work for Erin Blanchfield.

If it were 3 rounds I might take her, but in order to impose herself on Manon she's basically going to have to have Merab-esque cardio and I just don't think she does.

I think a 3 round fight would be more favorable for Fiorot to win, Blanchfield should have more gas left in the tank imo if this goes to rounds 4 & 5.

Do you think?

I think Fiorot's got the easier job here. Her TD defence is very good, she's super strong, she's bigger than Erin, and I'd rather be the bigger fighter trying to defend takedowns and get my ass up than take Erin's potentially thankless task of pinning down an ox.

Blanchield going to KO Fiorot after Giblert Melendez jumps in her corner to tell her to touch her with teh jab like Anderson Aldo does.

Man-on by some strike.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Blanchfield is 10 levels better at grappling, and Manon is about 5-7 levels better at striking.

I'll go with Blanchfield by decision or late submission.

Yeah. I am picking Erin by decision but damn Marion looked like death sucking on a pumpkin seed on the scale.

Damn. I knew Fiorot was bigger, but didn't realize she was that much bigger.

Who cares.

Blanchiel via submission 3rd rd

 

[KOPPE]

Manon by dec should be the safer bet.

 

[StonedLemur]

Yeah. I am picking Erin by decision but damn Marion looked like death sucking on a pumpkin seed on the scale.

Manon sucks a ton of weight, those are consequences sir.
Conor looked dead on the scales.

I'm an MMA fan and I don't care who wins this fight or how.

 

[Furious77]

I hope Erin proves me wrong. This has the potential to be a boring wall n stall fight if she can't get Manon's big ass down.

 

[NoSmilez]

Manon by decision. I will be the contrarian here.

Yeah, but even in comparison to previous cuts she looked rough, I think. Simply an opinion. And I suspect the water cut is getting tougher for her. Hell, once upon a time big weight cuts were nothing for me. Now that I am pushing 60 I feel dehydrated after taking a piss.

Nah, you're a fan of men's MMA.

 

[TITS]

Nah, you're a fan of men's MMA.

So, what you're saying is...I'm a fan of MMA.

FYI: There's plenty of "men's MMA" fights that I don't care about the outcome either.
