Erin Blanchfield is on a role in the UFC. She has been undefeated since joining the promotion and has presented herself as a strong contender for the women’s flyweight title. She has garnered the respect of many UFC personalities, including Joe Rogan and, recently, UFC president Dana White.

Blanchfield has been fighting under the UFC banner for a relatively short period. She made her debut at UFC Vegas 37, winning the bout by a unanimous decision against Sarah Alpar. Moreover, she defeated notable female fighters like Molly McCann and, recently, Jessica Andrade.

UFC commentator and renowned podcaster, Joe Rogan once said that Erin Blanchfield has all the tools to become a champion in the UFC. He believes she is on another level compared to other women on the UFC roster. Moreover, Dana White also had some words of praise for the New Jersey native. He talked about ‘Cold Blooded’ in the post-fight press conference of UFC Vegas 70.

The UFC boss commended Jessica Andrade for taking the fight on short notice, but also praised Blanchfield’s performance. White said, “You couldn’t ask for a bigger stud than Andrade to come out and do what she did. You couldn’t ask for a better bada** performance by Erin.”

Dana White also praised Blanchfield’s mental fortitude ahead of her UFC Vegas 69 bout against Andrade after visa issues forced Taila Santos out of contention. He said, “Think about how mentally tough and mentally stable somebody has to be the week leading into her fight, and that all happens to her.” White added, “Then she walks into this place like a gangster and goes right after Andrade ..the storyline doesn’t get any better than that.”

The 23-year-old has risen in the UFC rankings to third place and it won’t come as a surprise if Dana White gave her a title shot considering her undefeated record in the promotion.
