UFC 330 card takes hit after Erin Blanchfield withdrawal
A women's flyweight matchup between Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius has been pulled from UFC 330 on August 15 at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia due to an injury sustained by Blanchfield. The UFC is working to reschedule the bout for a UFC Fight Night event on October 17 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
This marks the first time during her UFC tenure that Blanchfield has been forced to withdraw from a scheduled fight. The rising flyweight contender is riding a two-fight winning streak, having defeated Rose Namajunas and Tracy Cortez in her most recent outings. Jasudavicius, meanwhile, was coming off a unanimous decision victory over Karine Silva in April and had been positioned to face Blanchfield as part of the UFC's push into the women's flyweight division.
With the contest now targeted for Edmonton, Jasudavicius stands to benefit from competing in her home country, where Canadian fans will provide local support. The rescheduling represents a common adjustment in UFC scheduling when fighters face injury setbacks, allowing both competitors to recover and prepare properly rather than cancelling the bout entirely.
