Blanchfield suffered her first UFC loss last year in a number one contender fight against Manon Fiorot after getting outclassed. She returned to her winning ways in her previous fight back in November at UFC Edmonton by defeating former two-time women's strawweight champion Rose Namajunas via unanimous decision. Her only other pro loss was to Tracy Cortez, by split decision, back when she competed in Invicta. Blanchfield has been able to use her wrestling and grappling to dominate every single one of her UFC opponents, except for Fiorot.
Barber has been out of action for quite some time, as she has been dealing with health issues since March 2024. She was last seen in action at UFC 299, where she dominated Katlyn Cerminara en route to a unanimous decision victory. Barber aimed to be the youngest UFC champion ever, but unfortunately for her, it didn't go the way she planned. First, she lost to Roxanne Modafferi via unanimous decision, and after that, Barber lost to former women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso. Barber bounced back by beating Miranda Maverick via split decision, and she hasn't lost since. Currently, she's on a six-fight winning streak.
Blanchfield enters this fight with an MMA record of 13-2 and 7-1 in the UFC. She averages 5.24 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 44%. Blanchfield absorbs 4.21 strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 59%. Her grappling has been a big part of her fighting style, averaging 1.86 takedowns every 15 minutes. Blanchfield has a takedown accuracy of 31% and a takedown defense of 80%.
Barber enters this fight with an MMA record of 14-2 and 9-2 in the UFC. She averages 4.70 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 53%. Barber absorbs 2.90 strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 54%. Her grappling has been solid, averaging 1.44 takedowns every 15 minutes. Barber has a takedown accuracy of 43% and a takedown defense of 53%.
Barber has looked outstanding in her last six fights. She is dangerous everywhere, and she's proven to be a solid all-around fighter, but I don't think that will be enough to win her the fight. I think Blanchfield's level of wrestling is much better than Barber's, and her forward pressure will be too much for Barber. I see Barber trying to find her rhythm as Blanchfield keeps her guessing with her takedown attempts. My prediction is that Blanchfield is going to dominate Barber en route to a unanimous decision win.
DraftKings MMA Lightweight - UFC DFS Lineup Picks
Mateusz Gamrot, $8.5K - vs. Ludovit Klein
Gamrot and Klein are scheduled for a three-round lightweight bout in the co-main event of UFC Vegas 107 on Saturday. Gamrot will look to get back in the win column after dropping a close decision in his last bout, while Klein looks to extend his win streak.
Gamrot, a former KSW champion, last competed back in August 2024, at UFC 305 where he lost a razor-close split decision to Dan Hooker. Before that fight, Gamrot was on a three-fight winning streak that included wins over Jalin Turner, Rafael Fiziev and former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos and arguably, Gamrot just might have gotten a title shot with a win over Hooker. Gamrot is one of the best wrestlers in the division, but he's shown clear struggles when he can't secure takedowns consistently, like in his fight against Hooker and Beneil Dariush.
Klein is currently on a seven-fight undefeated streak and a four-fight winning streak. At 30 years old, this is his biggest test to date and his first opportunity to break into the division’s top 15. Klein started his UFC career as a featherweight, losing two of his first three fights. He then moved to lightweight and hasn't lost a fight since moving up a weight class. In his most recent outing this past September at UFC Paris, Klein won a unanimous decision over Roosevelt Roberts. Klein is good everywhere, but his boxing is his best weapon, and his takedown defense has to be on point against Gamrot.
Gamrot enters this fight with an MMA record of 24-3 and one NC and 7-3 in the UFC. He is averaging 3.23 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 50%. Gamrot is absorbing 3.22 strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 58%. His grappling is one of the best in the division, averaging 5.25 takedowns every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 35%, and his takedown defense is 90%.
Klein enters this fight with an MMA record of 23-4-1 and 7-2-1 in the UFC. He is averaging 3.81 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 54%. Klein is absorbing 3.22 strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 54%. His grappling is also solid, averaging 1.70 takedowns every 15 minutes. His takedown accuracy is 51%, and his takedown defense is 91%.
This fight will likely be boring, but Gamrot should win this one. Klein is known for his takedown defense and fast and powerful striking. Klein hasn't faced the same level of competition as Gamrot, and at times, he struggled against unranked opponents. Gamrot will most likely push the pace, and Klein might find some success with his striking, but I see Gamrot taking Klein down repeatedly and winning a unanimous decision.
DraftKings MMA Middleweight - UFC DFS Lineup Picks
Zachary Reese, $9.2K - vs. Dusko Todorovic
Reese and Todorovic are scheduled to open up the UFC Vegas 107 main card on Saturday. Both Reese and Todorovic will look to bounce back after losing their previous fight.
Since entering the promotion, Reese has gone 2-2. Prior to signing with the promotion, Reese was undefeated, boasting an 8-0 record. He earned his UFC contract by defeating Eli Aronov on Dana White's Contender Series via first-round submission. Reese lost his UFC debut to Cody Brundage via first-round knockout. After that, he won two in a row, beating Julian Marquez and Jose Medina. Reese was last seen in action in January at UFC 311, where he was finished by Azamat Bekoev via first-round TKO.
Just like Reese, Todorovic competed on Dana White's Contender Series and earned his UFC contract by defeating Teddy Ash via unanimous decision. However, his UFC career has been rough, with Todorovic going 3-5. He lost his last fight to Mansur Abdul-Malik via knockout, marking the third loss in his last four fights. That loss came after Todorovic had been out for a year after suffering a knee injury against Christian Leroy Duncan.
Reese enters this fight with an MMA record of 8-2 and 2-2 in the UFC. He averages 4.94 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 58%. Reese absorbs 3.45 strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 42%. Regarding his wrestling, Reese is averaging 3.50 takedowns every 15 minutes and 2.1 submission attempts during the same period. He has a takedown accuracy of 55% and a takedown defense of 33%.
Todorovic enters this fight with an MMA record of 12-5 and 3-5 in the UFC. He averages 5.35 significant strikes per minute and has a striking accuracy of 57%. Todorovic absorbs 4.80 strikes per minute and has a striking defense of 46%. In regards to his wrestling, Todorovic is averaging 0.92. He has a takedown accuracy of 12% and a takedown defense of 45%.
Both fighters have that kill-or-be-killed style, but Todorovic's durability is not good enough to hang against stronger opposition. I think Todorovic should have gone down a weight class because he doesn't pack as much power as other fighters in the middleweight division, and he's not as durable. In his last three losses, Todorovic suffered either a knockout or TKO loss, and he will need to win this fight if he wants to secure his place in the UFC. Although Reese has five knockout/TKO wins on his record against questionable opposition, I'm not sure he'll be able to do the same to Todorovic. My prediction is that Reese will beat Todorovic via unanimous decision.
