UFC 330 Loses Blanchfield vs. Jasudavicius Ahead of Makhachev-Garry Main Event

What Happened UFC 330 just took a hit. The women's flyweight showdown between Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius, once a marquee bout on the August 15 Philadelphia card, has been scrapped. Per MMA insider Nolan King, the fight isn't dead — it's being reworked for UFC Edmonton on October 17. No official UFC statement has dropped yet, but Cageside Press points to Blanchfield pulling out due to injury as the likely culprit.

Why This Fight Keeps Getting Cursed This isn't Blanchfield's first rodeo with bad luck. Back in May 2025, she was minutes from walking out to headline a Fight Night against Maycee Barber when Barber reportedly suffered a locker room seizure and got pulled from competing entirely. That fight never happened. This time, at least, fans get a silver lining: the bout is being rescheduled rather than scrapped outright.

Why It Matters for UFC 330 Blanchfield and Jasudavicius aren't just filler — they're ranked No. 4 and No. 7 in the women's flyweight division. Losing that fight thins out what was shaping up to be a stacked card built around Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry at the Xfinity Mobile Arena. Main event drama tends to get most of the attention, but depth on the undercard is what makes a pay-per-view feel like an event instead of just one big fight with filler around it. Pulling a top-10 women's flyweight clash days before fight week leaves a real gap.

The Edmonton Angle Interestingly, the location swap flips the home-crowd advantage. Blanchfield fighting in Philadelphia would've been something of a home-ish game for her, while Jasudavicius get more support in Edmonton, given her Canadian roots. So this isn't just a reschedule — it's a change in atmosphere and crowd energy for both fighters when they eventually do meet.

What Fans Should Watch Next Expect the UFC to slot in a replacement bout for the August 15 card in the coming days, since promotions rarely leave a main card slot empty this close to an event. Meanwhile, keep an eye on official confirmation of the Edmonton date — until the UFC makes it official, all we have is reporting from trusted MMA insiders. For fans building fight-night plans around Makhachev vs. Garry, the undercard is clearly still shifting, so it's worth checking back before finalizing PPV expectations.
