Main Event: Blanchfield submits Andrade
Former strawweight champion and No. 3 ranked flyweight Jessica Andrade stepped in on short notice to give N0. 10 ranked Erin Blanchfield the fight of her life.
Blanchfield rose to the occasion with a competitive first round, then announced herself as a new contender in the division with a stunning rear naked submission of Andrade early in the second.
Following the win, Blanchfield said, "She hits really hard, but I got that clinch and I knew I could side trip from there so I took it. I'm glad I have the experience, I don't want to get hit as much next time."
Blancfield also revealed who she would like to face next as she aims for the title, "Give me the winner of Shevchenko versus Grasso next. I'm going to win the title and be the UFC champion."
Co-main Event: Pauga dominates Wright
The co-main event between exciting light heavyweight up and comers Jordan Wright and Zac Pauga was tense. It was a back and forth grueling three rounds, with Pauga's cage wrestling control earning him the decision on the scorecards.
After the decision win, Pauga said, "It feels amazing, just to get on the board. Now I'll start racking them up. I started with throwing elbows, that's why I'm called 'Jack the Ripper', now I'm just learning how to punch. I need wins, but I want finishes. That's the next step of my career."
