Prediction: Maycee Barber VS Erin Blanchfield 2025-05-31

The main event of UFC Fight Night is just around the corner, and we've got a real barnburner for you: Erin Blanchfield vs. Maycee Barber. Blanchfield, the No. 4 ranked flyweight, is looking to make it back-to-back wins after taking down former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. Barber, on the other hand, is riding a six-fight win streak and looking to prove herself as a top contender.

But, let's get to the juicy stuff. Barber missed weight for the contest, coming in at 126.5 pounds, 0.5 pounds over the non-title limit. That's like showing up to a dinner party with a half-eaten cake - it's just not a good look.

Now, let's talk odds. According to the bookmakers, Blanchfield is the favorite, with odds ranging from 1.36 to 1.42. Barber, on the other hand, is the underdog, with odds ranging from 2.88 to 3.25.

My prediction? I've got Blanchfield taking this one. She's got the momentum, the skill, and the focus. Barber's weight miss is a concern, and I think it'll give Blanchfield the edge she needs to take the win.

Best bet: Erin Blanchfield to win at 1.38 (DraftKings). The odds are in her favor, and I think she's got this one in the bag.

And, as a bonus, I'll throw in a totals bet: Under 4.5 rounds at 2.43 (BetOnline.ag). These two are going to come out swinging, and I think it'll be a quick and intense fight. Don't blink, or you'll miss it!
