Why do they have the full power of the sun focused directly on her face? The UFC should be providing the fighters with sunglasses as part of their kits to prevent media day blindness
😂😂😂😂
I thought that's just how blond women from France look bro 😂
lol at the full power of the sun
They are highlighting those beautiful porcelain veneers
Indeed. They could also buy a chair or two for the weightcuts, to avoid clothes being thrown and to privide some support just in case. Plus they could get money/sponsors for it, whether it's sunglasses or chairs
lmao they spelled Blanchfield wrong on the poster behind
Something is wrong with spelling second names in UFC lately,same was with Zheleznyakova week ago
Blanchield the F is silent for now
@@windytv7511maybe they were going for a french touch on Blenchfield
Dammm they did !!😂😂
They left the F out deliberately as another low key dismissal of Funkmaster
She thinks she had a tougher road to get here than Erin? Erin fought Andrade and Taila Santos
Manon actually picked both andrade and santos to beat erin 😂 she is underestimating her which is good news for erin
Andrade was on a few days notice, out of her natural weight class. Santos was Erin’s best win, but i think Manon has much better striking. maybe it’ll come down to her wrestling defense
Andrade short notice - and bad take down defense / submission defense. Talia Santos had a brain injury from Valentina fight and was not 100% as before
@@nutmegriot209 sounds like excuses, even manon beat rose with broken hand, and barely beat chookagian, and even lost the 3rd round against rose and started fading, erin will make her tired and gassed and finish her in later rounds
@@Hercule_e rose had hand injury too when she fought manon, stop making excuses
“LOOK AT ME when I’m talking to you Frenchy!!”-Samuel L. Jackson
manon will be a champion mark my words. BLANCHFIELD LOOKED LIKE AN AMATURE. Manon is the toughest I have seen in a while. Put your money on her next fight.
She could probably beat Pennington for the BW Title
she deserves a title shot she absolutely must face the winner of grasso shevchenko
Blanchfield looked like an armature. So an armature would go the distance with the future chsmp (in your words), not gas out and not be in trouble in the whole 25mins Fucking casual.
@@user-nh2cr4pl9o She can definitely beat her pennington is mid and only won title because she was fighting brainless bueno who helped her win it, manon very big for 125, big weight bully for sure lool she definitely a 135er and should go for double should she win 125 title, clear ufc are doing everything they can to get val to pass torch to grasso but grasso not good enough to beat val without luck or robbery to get it so they have to keep giving her chances whilst val ages since she beat grasso badly and was robbed even worse
@@Bodz2023 Manon doesn't have striking power like that and is a big weight bully for a reason I think she fought someone good at her real weight class she would lose but tbh she's very good so even at 135 I can still see her winning title before that happens, but blanchfield got found out I always knew if she fought someone who can defend her grappling she will get beat she was getting beat up by talia until she gassed out and couldn't defend her wrestling She was taking hard shots from andrade who fought her on short notice, her striking and striking defence has always been mid like this so knew if she couldn't take manon down and work her grappling that she would get her ass kicked, only reason manon didn't stop her is because she has a solid chin and manon doesn't have power doesn't change the fact she did look like an amatuer with top tier grappling in there because that's exactly what she looked like
Its the other way around, this is gonna be Erins toughest test of her career because Fiorot is a southpaw that has an insane jab work. Erin wont be able to just tackle this much bigger taller fighter and get the win as usual, Erins gonna have to figure out how to stop Fiorots best weapon her jab this is gonna be a complicated if not the most complicated fight Erin has had yet
Finally a fan who understands the sport and what they are watching you was right congrats
This aged like fine wine.
Absolutely spot on analysis. Fiorot jab and lead check hook were the money maker.
Womens top5 FW division is nasty blanchfield shevchenko fiorot and the champ grasso
And natalia silva is on the way
Best WMMA division in the world
And even like that the level is utterly weak, not even top 15 of some of the weakest male divisions, they do amateur level mistakes inside that octagon
Champ should be Valentina, everyone and their mom knows.
@@puntsizeshoulda woulda coulda
Yes she is
Very interesting matchup. it's like a title fight to me, as competitive and high-level as Alexa-Valentina 3. Among these 4 women (and possibly a few more) the level seems to be VERY EVEN in terms of skills, determination and self-confidence.
Erin striking is amateur level
@@Horvat04 After what i saw tonight u are 100% correct
@@user-nh2cr4pl9o we need no glasses for that..the half men sucks too. No finishing abillity thats her entire arsenal every fight and its working
When a fighter says this they usually aren’t prepared. Lock it up for Blanchfield.
Manon was 5 rounds prepared for her and she won every single round
What happens when you turn into fake psychologist and make stupid assumptions based on it lool how that loss feel like? will happen again since stupid people like yourself never learn from this
50-45 unprepared for sure lool
Wishing her the best of luck. Praying that same wins
These comments didn’t age well 😏
She's talkin' crazy lately
She has been talking crazy for a long time. She is overrated.
Y'all better have the tissues ready Saturday night Blanchfield gets whooped
@@shawnermcgregor Tissues ready for what? I don't bet on fights.
@@denisenoles3159 overrated ? ahahahah her roas is way more tougher and longer than erin, manon by tko
@@lucian6857 What is a roas?
Manon has this look like: Here I go again.. I have to sit through this guy speaking English.
Well fookin done.
Full breakdown on this card I have Erin to win
Because of her grappling right? grappler vs striker with the striker being so big in size and well versed in grappling defence the wrestler couldn't take her down, someone looks like a big time weight bully like manon and can defend always have to be wary to what extent I had erin to win as well but wasn't naive to have her as a lock like many casuals here knew this fight was 50/50 from jump and if erin couldn't make her grappling work she's screwed better to go with over 2.5 RDs and bet no one in such a fight tbh
😂😂 we will see after the fight, she will have to show respect when she loses to erin .. she is saying she beat rose but when did rose fight at flyweight before that? She beat a tiny rose, erin is a completely different fighter, so if she thinks rose will be a tougher fight for her she is up for a rude awakening lol 😂 cant wait
You gonna cry like a tiny rose when Blanchfield gets whooped
@@shawnermcgregor we will see who will cry 😂
who cares if rose hadnt fought at flyweight before that? if you dismiss the win you're just being ignorant.
@@Sevr-ln7kk you’re the ignorant one, there’s weight classes for a reason, fighting naturally bigger girls plays a huge factor
How do you feel now? That was a masterclass performance from manon. She outstruck Erin and erin just couldn't take her down. Blanchfields striking is mediocre at best manon lit her up
I think we can all agree that Erin is overrated and her stand up is below average but Manon is old. This will absolutely be a big test for her.
Overrated? Hadn't lost yet in the lead up.
@@jordielpino Female divisions are all utterly weak, so yeah you could be undefeated and still be overrated, and she's lost 1 time btw
I think she's being a bit overhyped, but the majority seem to think she's the next champ.
@@jordielpino yes. overhyped. It's only halfway through the fight and Erin is embarrassing herself. Even if she pulls out a late win she is overrated.
@gunner-qf9eh delete your comment? hahahahahahahahahahah go cry
If UFC was a world wide compagny and not a US firm, she would already be World Champion
Manon 💪💪💪
MAN-on
@@thehighvibe5528 the beast
@@Salim-je2wf historically yes beasts do typically cheat to win
La classe, au naturel.
I’ve actually never been impressed by her style. She has good skills but it’s almost as if she does just enough to win standing each fight to skate by
Yh I feel what you are saying she is basically female cyril gane minus the power cause if gane was smaller that's what he would look like less stoppage wins, she had striking power I think erin would have got stopped
Even that fight yesterday was so boring feel asleep near the end of it, if grasso somehow gets past val, since its clear ufc want this and using tuf to age val for rematch since shes still too good for grasso to beat and beat her 4-1 in last fight to be robbed, we would have the most boring title fight they could make at 125 she will ping grasso head off and mix in grappling to decision win I feel
48-47 manon
50-45 😂
cant believe i even gave erin that much respect lmao @@gojosatoru_goat2971
You wasn't far off lool but it was worse
definitely didnt think erin was coming in with a KICKBOXING gameplan lmaooooo@@Local-Vibes4444
Why is everyone all up in arms about Grasso being hot? Where I am from she is a 5/10 Latina. Now this French lady on the other hand….talk about Raw Natural Beauty! Blondes do it wayyy better
Manot is a 4. Grasso is a 6 because she has nice eyes. But Grasso also has that great smile.
And your favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla😂😂
@@watchmanonthewall14 hahahahhaha a 4? If she walked into your presence you would melt and every guy in the room would turn their heads. FACT. If Grasso walked into my presence I’d tell her where the ladders are to start picking.
@@georgemartinez5330 ooooo I see we have a salty mexi. Blondes are exotic and unique. They are a GLOBAL MINORITY. So if anyone has a vanilla taste it’s people who think a mid Latina is “SoO hOt”. Run the numbers big brains fair haired women are exotic and sought after by men ALL over the world because it is well accepted red/blonde women are the most gorgeous.
@@magofcascadia8484 My mistake. Upon further reflection, she's a generous 3 out of 10.
Imo, Could be a close fight, but I pick Manon as winner.
She seemed to be more aggressive in previous fights. She was not with rose. She is strong looking in her body. She does not use her left leg in striking to kicking. If erin or manon do fight shevchenck or grasso theyv wll win.
to be fair rose is kinda a tricky fighter and has lateral movement
She thinks she's fighting Ricky Bobby ☠️
Probably would have given a better fight than erin did loool
Damn, the laugh lines on her. Test her, wait, nobody will
Manon has a legendary CHIN, lets see what happens, Erin will have to hold her down and win by control time which will be super boring because Manons CHIN is just too much.
exactly! I wonder how much those veneer implants strengthened her chin. I'm surprised they are not banned, as they are for sure a performance enhancer.
@@puntsize i thought she was just wearing her mouthguard already, like shes locked into the fight so she wore her mouthguard to the interviews.
Fiorot is a lock
Let's go Manon, European takeover, all support from Spain!!
Erin ( IS ) her hardest fight.
didnt look it. rose looked a tougher fight
@@sexydudeuk2172 Maybe now we'll get Maycee and erin once maycee is fully recovered seeing as barber said that blanchfield fought her leftovers
@@user-nh2cr4pl9o that would be a interesting fight however maycee is also recovering as after her last fight she got an infection which turned into pneumonia
@@sexydudeuk2172 Ahh ok this is totally unrelated i saw a video of a karen trying to start shit with maycee she was with her friend a comment i read on mmamania said that it was all set up and that it was her mom
These press guys say "I guess" all the time. As if they didn't know what to ask, so "I guess what are the emotions." It sounds fake. I think Morgan started it.
I think Manon will beat blanch-ield
never forget the fight Manon threw the same 3 punch combo the whole 3 fight.
Who did she fight? 😂 Rose and? 😂
Well, she did a lot of shadow kick boxing and won each and every time.
@@glorigargoglou hey gorgulu 😁, if there is somebody not that bright its mostly the fighters, thats why they fight
@@chrism6446 sad truth is thats her entire Arsenal, we have seen it all. No ko power no finishing abillity and its working for half men. Most boring trans fighter
@@Horvat04 you're a genius
@@chrism6446 where im from we have no trans. Did i hurt your feelings by stating facts. I guess you are the gay here
How does she know how tough blanchfield test is it hasn’t happened yet
Bingo. Plus, she fought a tiny Rose.
And has now and she won every single round
She did her homework that's why, what happens when you learn and don't make assumptions you get real answers
well, she should learn English
"Dany Boulanger", nom bien franchouillard, tu devrais faire de même avec le français.
Justifie l'usage du termes de franchouillard en lien avec mon nom svp....!!!! Je te sens condescendant. Es-tu Parisien?
The French are quitters.
Who won exactly
Yankees n'ont jamais gagné une guerre
talking about your ex-girlfriend ?
@@bondjamesboy yeah quit shaving and showering.
Something about her i don't like
She got a crazy jaw and laugh lines from steroids
Same. Can't quite put my finger on it.
@@jordielpino she isn't on juice bruv.
