Follow usErin Blanchfield has responded to Maycee Barber’s criticism of her fight style, as they prepare for their UFC Vegas 107 face-off this Saturday.
Blanchfield’s Response to Barber’s Comments
Blanchfield defended her fighting style after Barber labeled it as boring. In their upcoming UFC Vegas 107, the two fighters have been taking jabs at each other, with Barber’s comment being the latest. Blanchfield responded during a media day event.
“I usually let such comments slide,” said Blanchfield. “People will always have something to say. I’m well aware of my capabilities as a fighter and my diverse skills. Maycee is quite an assertive fighter, she has a lot of forward pressure and strong hooks. This will be her first five-round fight, and I can see her being more cautious, but I believe her aggressive side will show at some point.”
Blanchfield’s Strengths and Strategy
Blanchfield is acknowledged for her wrestling and grappling prowess, which Barber has criticized as dull. However, Blanchfield knows that her expertise in these areas will be beneficial in taking Barber down and controlling her on the mat.
If Blanchfield triumphs over Barber at UFC Vegas 107, she is confident of securing the next title shot at flyweight.
Barber’s Critique of Blanchfield’s Fighting Style
Preceding their UFC Vegas 107 main event, Maycee Barber criticized Erin Blanchfield’s fighting style, calling it monotonous and terrible.
“She’s just trying to find something negative to say about me, but I don’t think she can pinpoint anything wrong with my style or my marketability,” Barber told Ariel Helwani. “I guess the only thing she can criticize is whether I’ll show up for the fight. Her fighting style is awful, there are many things one can say about Erin Blanchfield. Yes, she’s a good fighter, but is she exciting?”
Despite Barber’s critique, Blanchfield enters UFC Vegas 107 as a significant betting favorite.
Looking forward, it will be interesting to see how this verbal sparring translates into the octagon.
