Erin Blanchfield took on Molly McCann at UFC 281, and it was not particularly close.
Heading into UFC 281, there was a ton of hype and interest behind McCann, given her friendship with rising prospect Paddy Pimblettas well as the love and support she receives from her homeland. Looking to derail that hype train was Blanchfield.
Blanchfield had won her first three bouncing the UFC and was riding a six-fight streak overall. As a result, she was being considered one of the top prospects the women’s flyweight division.
Erin Blanchfield Decimates Molly McCann
Apparently nobody told Erin Blanchfield that Molly McCann was a highly hyped prospect, because she made short work of the Englishwoman, getting an early takedown and moving quickly to a mounted crucifix. From here, she was able to score an ungodly amount of unanswered ground and pound before securing a kimura at 3:37 of the very first round.
After such a one-sided performance against McCann, who had been the focus of a ton of promotional material recently, fans were extremely impressed with the showing from Blanchfield. They took to social media after the fact to shower her in praises.
“Erin Blanchfield just cannibalized alllllll that momentum Molly McCann built over this year. That was jaw dropping. She’s picking up some new fans tonight,” Brett Okamoto wrote on Twitter.
