Blanchfield and Jasudavicius collide at UFC 330 in flyweight title eliminator

Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius will square off in a 125-pound clash at UFC 330 on August 15 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, the promotion announced on Wednesday. Both fighters are chasing a flyweight title shot after recent setbacks have stalled their momentum.

Blanchfield carries an 8-1 UFC record into the bout, with her only loss coming via unanimous decision to Manon Fiorot in the UFC on ESPN 54 headliner in March 2024. The 27-year-old New Jersey native has since bounced back emphatically, stringing together back-to-back wins over Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez to re-establish herself as a serious title contender.

Jasudavicius shares a common thread with her opponent — Fiorot. The 37-year-old Canadian had won five consecutive UFC bouts between January 2024 and May 2025 before the French contender stopped her in just 74 seconds this past October. Jasudavicius responded by returning to winning ways with a three-round decision over Karine Silva at UFC Fight Night 276 on April 18.

The flyweight matchup adds further depth to what is shaping up to be a stacked card in Philadelphia. UFC 330 is headlined by a welterweight title fight between champion Islam Makhachev and Ian Garry, while Mackenzie Dern defends her strawweight crown against Gillian Robertson in the co-main event.

For Blanchfield and Jasudavicius, the bout represents a significant opportunity: a convincing performance against a ranked opponent could be enough to earn a crack at the flyweight title, with Fiorot — the fighter who derailed both of their runs — looming as the common measuring stick at the top of the division.
