Erin Blanchfield bio
Personal background
Erin Blanchfield, nicknamed "Cold Blooded," is an American UFC flyweight from Elmwood Park, New Jersey, born May 4, 1999. She began training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at age seven and added kickboxing and grappling competition two years later, deciding by age 12 that she wanted to fight professionally. A standout grappler long before her MMA career, she became the first woman to win an Eddie Bravo Invitational title, claiming the inaugural EBI flyweight championship as a teenager, and was later promoted to BJJ black belt in 2021. The 5'4" flyweight trains out of the Renzo Gracie jiu-jitsu network in New Jersey and pairs that elite grappling pedigree with steadily improving striking, building a reputation as one of the most technically advanced young talents in the women's division.
Path to the UFC
Blanchfield turned professional in 2018 and built her record largely under the Invicta FC and CFFC banners. She opened with a first-round doctor's stoppage of Whittany Pyles, then earned a majority-decision win over Kay Hansen at Invicta FC 32. Her lone early setback came in a 2019 split-decision loss to Tracy Cortez at Invicta FC 34, a defeat she handled by rattling off a long unbeaten run. She showcased her finishing ability with a head-kick knockout of Victoria Leonardo and a decision over Brogan Walker before reaching the UFC.
Establishing herself in the UFC
Once in the Octagon, Blanchfield made an immediate impression. She decisioned Sarah Alpar in 2021, then outpointed Miranda Maverick at UFC 269 and submitted JJ Aldrich with a standing guillotine in 2022. She closed that year with a first-round kimura of Molly McCann at UFC 281, a finish that announced her as a contender.
Into the title picture
Blanchfield's defining win came in February 2023, when she submitted former champion Jéssica Andrade with a second-round rear-naked choke, then followed with a unanimous-decision win over the highly regarded Taila Santos later that year. Her run hit a checkpoint in March 2024 with a five-round decision loss to Manon Fiorot, but she rebounded in November 2024 by outpointing former two-division champion Rose Namajunas over five rounds, reaffirming her place near the top of the flyweight division.
Fighting style
Blanchfield is a grappling-first fighter whose world-class jiu-jitsu anchors everything she does, with four of her 13 wins by submission and a control game that smothers opponents on the mat. She chains takedowns to dominant position and hunts finishes from the back and the clinch, while her striking has grown into a credible tool for setting up entries and winning rounds outright, as her seven decision wins show. Her measured, almost emotionless pace under pressure fits the "Cold Blooded" nickname. The clearest test of her ceiling has been elite, takedown-stuffing strikers like Fiorot, who exposed the difficulty she can face keeping rangy opponents in grappling exchanges.
Career highlights
- Submitted a former champion — choked out Jéssica Andrade in February 2023, a marquee win that vaulted her up the flyweight rankings.
- Beat Rose Namajunas — outpointed former two-division champion Rose Namajunas over five rounds in 2024 to stay among the division's elite.
- Elite grappling pedigree — the first woman to win an Eddie Bravo Invitational title, she carried that jiu-jitsu base into wins over Taila Santos and Molly McCann.
