UFC on ESPN+ 77 live results: Jessica Andrade vs. Erin Blanchfield

Welcome to F4WOnline.com’s live coverage of UFC On ESPN+ 77: Andrade vs. Blanchfield, emanating from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Octagon is back at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas this weekend for a card headlined by two women’s flyweights on the track towards a title shot in a big spot in a fight that came together only a week ago.

Former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade takes on rising prospect Erin Blanchfield in the five-round headline bout in the women’s flyweight division. Andrade is taking this fight on a week’s notice after Taila Santos was forced to pull out of the bout after her cornermen didn’t have their visas approved in time to travel to Las Vegas for the fight. Andrade is looking to extend her 3-fight win streak and is making a quick turnaround after defeating Lauren Murphy at UFC 283 last month. Blanchfield is looking to move to 5-0 during her UFC run and score the biggest win of her career.

In the co-main event, light heavyweights square off as Jordan Wright takes on recent TUF finalist Zac Pauga. Also on the main card is a heavyweight battle between Josh Parisian and Jamal Pogues, a light heavyweight fight pitting William Knight against Marcin Prachnio, and the UFC all-time wins leader Jim Miller looks to add to his record when he takes on Alexander Hernandez in a lightweight bout.

Follow along with our live coverage of the event beginning at 4 p.m. Eastern time with preliminary action all the way through the main card.
