Erin Blanchfield confident that Molly McCann hasn't fought anyone with her grappling prowess

In a recent interview with James Lynch, the No.12-ranked UFC women's flyweight Erin Blackfield stated that even though Molly McCann is very aggressive on the feet, she hasn't faced a high-level grappler like herself.

The 23-year-old added that she was also confident that she could deal with the Brit's high-pressure fighting style:

"She's definitely more of a brawler. She's super aggressive, I think she kind of overwhelms girls sometimes with her aggression, but I'm used to that and I know how to deal with that. So stylistically it's a great fight for me... I'll be a little bit faster and will be able to catch a submission quicker, like in the ground transitions. I don't think she has grappled with someone like as technical and athletic I guess, on the ground as me."
