Erin Blanchfield defeated former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade by second round submission in the main event of UFC Fight Night 219.
Valentina Shevchenko is the current UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion and Blanchfield wants to be the one to take the title from her.
“I would definitely prefer Shevchenko. I think she beats Grasso,” Blanchfield said after the event (transcript via Nolan King & Ken Hathaway of MMA Junkie). “I think Grasso is a very tough fighter, but I want to be the one to take that title from (Shevchenko).”
Shevchenko is scheduled to defend her title in two weeks against Alexa Grasso in the co-main event of UFC 285.
