UFC will return this weekend with some female flyweight action. UFC Atlantic City will feature Erin Blanchfield taking on Manon Fiorot in the main event of the show. But before we get to this weekend’s action, let’s shift our focus on the 2nd-ranked flyweight contender. Today, we will dive into the details of Blanchfield’s life, exploring her nationality, ethnicity, and religion.

At just 24 years old, Erin Blanchfield has amassed a pretty stellar record for an MMA fighter. She is yet to lose in the UFC, boasting a record of 12 wins and only one loss. As she ascends to the top of the food chain in her division, people are starting to wonder what her backstory is, and that’s what we’re here to find out.

Erin Blanchfield is American by nationality

Erin Blanchfield was born in the United States of America, a country that has procured the most amount of champions in MMA. Her parents, George and Betsy Blanchfield, welcomed her into the world on May 4, 1999, in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. The 24-year-old’s passion for martial arts was evident from a very early age, and she began her jiu-jitsu training when she was only seven years old.

It did not take time for ‘Cold Blooded’ to turn into another martial arts disciple, diving into the world of kickboxing and even competing in competitions. Erin Blanchfield attended Montclair State University, from which she later decided to drop out to put her sole focus on her MMA career. Now that we’ve established her nationality and her early martial arts career, let’s take a look at the details of her ethnicity and religion.

Blanchfield’s ethnicity and religion

Erin Blanchfield, much like her family members, is Caucasian. However, more details regarding her ethnicity are not available to the public. When it comes to her religion, it is believed that the 2nd-ranked female practices Christianity. It is important to note that not much is known about Blanchfield, given that she’s a relatively young fighter, who became a professional fighter in 2018.

‘Cold Blooded’ has done pretty well for herself in Dana White‘s promotion. In just six UFC fights, Erin Blanchfield has earned three decision wins and three submissions wins, which shows how good she is in the grappling department. Nevertheless, she will be fighting another fighter, who’s also undefeated in the UFC and has also fought six times in the world’s biggest MMA promotion, Manon Fiorot.

The fight between Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot will be an interesting one since both of them have major wins over a couple of former UFC champions, Jessica Andrade and Rose Namajunas, respectively. Who do you think will come out on top this Saturday? Let us know in the comments section.
