A New Jersey native, Blanchfield (14-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) hasn’t competed since a November submission of Tracy Cortez. The victory moved her to 2-0 since a March 2024 loss to Manon Fiorot. Between the Cortez and Fiorot fights, Blanchfield defeated Rose Namajunas via unanimous decision.
Canada’s Jasudavicius (15-4 MMA, 9-3 UFC) has won six of her most recent seven. Her only loss in that stretch also came against Fiorot. She bounced back in April with a unanimous decision win over Karine Silva.
The UFC 330 lineup includes:
-
Champion Mackenzie Dern vs. Gillian Robertson – for women’s strawweight title
-
Erin Blanchfield vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius
