UFC Edmonton Results: Erin Blanchfield defeats Rose Namajunas

We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC Edmonton results, including the women’s flyweight co-main event between Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield.

Namajunas (13-6 MMA) will enter the contest on a two-fight winning streak, her latest being a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Tracy Cortez back in July. ‘Thug’ has gone 3-2 over her past five Octagon appearances overall.

Meanwhile, Erin Blanchfield (12-2 MMA) was last seen in action this past March, where she suffered a unanimous decision loss to Manon Fiorot. That setback snapped a nine-fight winning streak for ‘Cold Blooded’, who appeared to be on the cusp of a title shot before the loss.
