When we all believed that the end of UFC 308 would lead to a dull period with a lack of action and excitement, the UFC has now served us with a sizzling card for the upcoming Fight Night. The thrilling event features the women’s flyweight clash between former champion Rose Namajunas and the 25-year-old Erin Blanchfield.

The up-and-coming MMA star has been a talent to look out for after the ‘Cold Blooded’ earned herself an MMA record of 12-2-0. With six wins and only one loss in the UFC, Blanchfield surely is on top of her game in the Octagon. But who are the ones helping her out to be her very best? Where does she train, and who is her coach? Let’s find out!

Where does Erin Blanchfield train?

Blanchfield, a native of Elmwood Park, New Jersey, began practicing jiu-jitsu when she was seven years old. Within just two years, she began participating in grappling and kickboxing competitions. After some years of performing well in small-scale competitions, ‘Cold Blooded’ decided to become a professional fighter at the age of twelve. After being one of the top fighters in the Invicta Fighting Championships, Blanchfield joined the UFC with already seven wins under her belt.

She followed the wins with major victories against Taila Santos, Jéssica Andrade, Molly McCann, JJ Aldrich, and Miranda Maverick in the UFC. Erin Blanchfield is now geared up to fight Rose Namajunas. In this effort, she would be training in the MK Muay Thai MMA gym to work on her striking. However, she is also a part of the Silver Fox BJJ MMA gym to hone her grappling skills as well.
