He has now returned to 205lbs where he went 5-0 before making his reality TV debut.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong> Zac Pauga to Win</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/ufc-mma/ufc-matches/jessica-andrade-v-erin-blanchfield-7137446">Jessica Andrade vs Erin Blanchfield</a></p> <p>The main event of the evening sees the Brazilian, Jessica “Bata Estaca” Andrade take on Erin “Cold Blooded” Blanchfield.</p> <p>At only 23 years old, Blanchfield is going to face her toughest opponent yet in the form of Andrade, the former Strawweight champion and UFC veteran. While Andrade’s ability is well known, &nbsp;Blanchfield enters this fight as a bit of a wild card. She has only had 4 fights in the UFC (she’s won all of them) and only lost once in her 11-fight career during her time at Invicta.</p> <p>This will be the first time Blanchfield enters the Octagon for 5 Rounds, while this will be Andrade’s 5th. All four of Andrade’s 5 Round fights have finished in the second round, winning 2 and losing 2.</p> <p>We don’t think this one will go the distance given the history, and experience over potential will be the victor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Tip:</strong>&nbsp;Jessica Andrade win by KO</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>Not avaliable in SA.&nbsp;</em></p>
