Jasudavicius recently defeated Fatima Kline at UFC Denver, who coincidentally enough, is Blanchfield’s teammate. With Jasudavicius originally set to face a top-10 opponent before Kline subbed in on short notice for her octagon debut, she believes Blanchfield would check off all the boxes.

Did Marlon Vera return to the octagon a bit too soon after taking a hellacious beating at the hands of Sean O’Malley back in March?. That’s a question “Chito” is asking himself after losing to Deiveson Figueiredo via decision on the undercard of UFC on ABC: Sandhagen vs. Nurmagomedov. Figueiredo became the first fighter to ever knock Vera down in the UFC (watch the highlights where), which could just be a testament to the former flyweight champion’s power at bantamweight. But in a statement posted on social media after the event, Vera suggested the damage he took five months earlier played a part.
