Tough ask for Andrade this Saturday. Short notice, 2nd fight within a month after connecting on 231 strikes, the majority on which landed on Lauren Murphy’a concrete face, and zero prep time against an elite grappler in the up and comer Blanchfield. There aren’t many WMMA fights I look forward to but this is one of them.
I've been of the thought that Blanchfield is going to be a huge star for a while now, but this is a real test for her. I am really excited to see her deal with a striker with real power and see how effective her grappling is against someone who will probably be physically stronger than her.
