Reports indicate that Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius are being targeted to clash in the co-main event of UFC Edmonton on October 17, a women's flyweight bout that would serve as one of the marquee matchups on the card. The pairing has not been officially confirmed.
Blanchfield, known as "Cold Blooded," enters as the fourth-ranked flyweight in the world. The 27-year-old American trains out of Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and carries a record of 14 wins and 2 losses. She is an aggressive offensive fighter, averaging 5.24 significant strikes landed per minute with a submission attempt rate of 0.8 per 15 minutes — numbers that reflect a well-rounded game built on constant pressure. Her reach measures 66 inches.
Jasudavicius, ranked seventh in the division, brings a 15-4-0 record and represents Canada's Niagara Top Team. At 37 years old, the Ontario-based fighter stands five-foot-seven with a 68-inch reach and has made her name as a grinder, averaging 2.59 takedowns per 15 minutes — among the more active wrestling outputs in the division. She lands 3.7 significant strikes per minute with a striking accuracy of 45 percent.
Why it matters
- Blanchfield sits three spots above Jasudavicius in the divisional rankings, meaning a strong performance from either fighter carries real ranking implications
- Jasudavicius's takedown volume sets up a direct challenge to Blanchfield's submission-oriented ground game
- A co-main event slot in Edmonton gives a Canadian fighter a prominent stage in front of a home-country audience
- The outcome could shape the contender picture in a flyweight division where title positioning remains competitive
