Next month\u2019s highly-anticipated UFC 330 has taken a significant hit just a few weeks out from the event. <\/p>\n

Scheduled to take place on August 15 at the Xfinity Center, UFC 330 will see the world\u2019s leading MMA promotion return to Philadelphia, PA<\/a> for the first time since a 2019 UFC Fight Night that closed out with recently-crowned UFC Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje’s<\/a> knockout win over Edson Barboza. <\/p>\n

UFC 330 is topped by a pair of huge title fights, as Islam Makhachev and Mackenzie Dern are set to kick off their respective welterweight and strawweight title reigns<\/a> against challengers Ian Machado Garry and Gillian Robertson. <\/p>\n

UFC 330 Loses Erin Blanchfield vs. Jasmine Jasudavicius<\/p>\n

The event offers plenty of other high-profile matchups outside of the two title fights, but Nolan King<\/a> reports that a women\u2019s flyweight bout between Erin Blanchfield and Jasmine Jasudavicius has unfortunately been scrapped due to an injury to Blanchfield. <\/p>\n

King\u2019s report does not include details regarding Blanchfield\u2019s injury, but it does indicate that the UFC will try to rebook the matchup with Jasudavicius for a later date. <\/p>\n

The bout is a significant one for the women\u2019s flyweight title picture, as both fighters are currently ranked in the division\u2019s Top 10<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Erin Blanchfield Withdraws From UFC 330 With Injury<\/p>\n

Currently sitting three spots ahead of Jasudavicius at #4 in the women\u2019s flyweight rankings, Blanchfield began her UFC career with a six-fight win streak that included victories over former UFC Strawweight Champion Jessica Andrade and former title challenger Taila Santos. <\/p>\n

A meeting with Manon Fiorot in 2024 saw Blanchfield suffer the first loss of her UFC career, but she rebounded later that year by defeating two-time UFC Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Jasmine Jasudavicius Coming Off Big Win at UFC Winnipeg<\/p>\n

A contract winner on the 2021 edition of Dana White\u2019s Contender Series, Jasudavicius initially went 3-2 to start her own UFC career. <\/p>\n

Following a unanimous decision loss to Cortez in 2023, Jasudavicius submitted Priscila Cachoeira at UFC 297 to kick off what eventually turned into a five-fight win streak that established her as one of the best women\u2019s flyweights on the UFC roster. <\/p>\n

Like Blanchfield, the 37-year-old\u2019s winning run was also ended by Fiorot when the pair met at UFC Vancouver last year, but Jasudavicius returned to the win column in April when she defeated Karine Silva. <\/p>\n
