UFC women’s flyweight contender Erin Blanchfield has a big name for her return next year.<\/p>\n

‘Cold Blooded’ is fresh off her return at UFC 281 in November. Standing opposite Blanchfield was the fan-favorite Brit, Molly McCann<\/a>. ‘Meatball’ was riding a three-fight winning streak heading into the event, but didn’t have much success in New York.<\/p>\n

In their bout at UFC 281, the 23-year-old dominated en route to a first-round submission victory. Following the win, Blanchfield voiced her intentions to face a top-five opponent<\/a> in her return. As she announced in an interview with Morning Kombat<\/em>, she will get her wish.<\/p>\n

During the interview, Erin Blanchfield revealed she will face Taila Santos<\/a> next. The Brazilian had been out of action since a loss to Valentina Shevchenko in June. While Santos hoped to get an instant rematch with ‘Bullet’, that won’t be the case, as she will face Blanchfield next.<\/p>\n

Along with the announcement of her fight against the Brazilian, Blanchfield revealed that she had signed a new deal with the UFC. Her bout with Santos will be the first as a part of a new four-fight contract.<\/p>\n

\"Taila<\/p>\n

“I’ve signed some contracts already… I haven’t been told I can’t [announce] so, I signed a new four-fight deal and I signed to fight Taila Santos,” stated Blanchfield in the interview with Morning Kombat<\/em><\/a>. “As long as I have notice, I like to have a full camp so I can be prepared for anybody. As long as I have that, I know I can beat anybody in the world, so I’m hyped for it.”<\/p>\n

She continued, “She’s a little bit taller than me, I’m like 5’4, she’s like 5’6. She’s a striker but she has some good wrestling, she likes her takedowns off the cage. Her jiu-jitsu is decent. She’s well-rounded, but I don’t think she’s necessarily dangerous.”<\/p>\n

The matchup itself will fall on a February 18th, UFC Fight Night event. As of now, there’s been no headliner announced for the event.<\/p>\n
