Erin Blanchfield has fired back at Maycee Barber after she said she had a boring fighting style.
Blanchfield and Barber are set to headline UFC Vegas 107 on Saturday in a highly anticipated fight. It’s a fight that is years in the making and one that could determine the next flyweight contender. The two have taken shots at one another, including Barber saying Blanchfield is boring, which she responded to at media day.
“Most of the time I feel like I brush it off,” Blanchfield said at media day. “People have got to say what they’ve got to say. I know who I am as a fighter, and I know I’m well-rounded. Maycee’s a pretty aggressive fighter. A lot of forward pressure. Big hooks. This is her first five-rounder, so I could see her possibly being a little more reserved, but I think that’s going to come out of her at some point.”
Erin Blanchfield is known for her wrestling and grappling, which Barber thinks is boring. But, Blanchfield knows that is because she is good at it and is confident she will be able to take Barber down and control her on the mat.
If Blanchfield does go out and beat Barber at UFC Vegas 107, she’s confident she will get the next title shot at flyweight.
