UFC Flyweight Erin Blanchfield in Two-Piece Workout Gear is on Fire

Erin Blanchfield is getting ready for UFC Edmonton – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the flyweight shows off her amazing body in an exercise set while sharing her excitement for her upcoming fight, one week away. Her followers went wild over the post. "You look like you are ready for your next challenge. Time to rise and shine," one of them commented. "Cold-Blooded. 💪🏼😏🥋," added another, while many others commented with fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

When Erin was just 7, she started training in jiujitsu and competing in kickboxing and grappling tournaments. "I got into martial arts when I was 7 years old," she told The Montclarian. "My brother was training and I went in to watch him and was offered a free class. I fell in love with the training and got into competing soon after."

"There were always MMA fighters at the gyms I trained at growing up," Blanchfield continued. "I always looked up to them. Once the UFC [Ultimate Fighting Championship] opened up women's divisions, I knew fighting MMA was what I wanted to do." Now she trains six days a week, using her same trainers for many years.  "I've been training with my striking coach Augie Matias since I was 15 and my jiujitsu coach Frankie Roberts since I was 16," she said. "They both have cornered me in all my professional fights and I couldn't thank them enough." She owes a lot of her success to them. "They both have helped me become the fighter I currently am and are always pushing me to become the best athlete I could be."

Erin is a coffee drinker. "Cappuccino pls," she captioned a recent Instagram photo.

As part of her training, Erin cycles. Here she is in Las Vegas cycling to improve her cardiovascular fitness.

Erin focuses on progress, not perfection. "I feel like, every fight, you can see my improvements, and I feel like I'm always trying to improve after each one too," she told New York Post. "I think these past few fights, I've had to strike more because it's been hard to get the takedown, so you've just been able to see my striking more, even if it was kind of already at that level."
