Fails to convince the judges in the main event of Bellator 189

December 1, 2017
Blencowe lost to Julia Budd via unanimous decision (46-49, 46-49, 47-48) at Bellator 189 on Friday in Thackerville, Okla.
ANALYSIS
Blencowe certainly had a better performance against Budd compared to the first time they fought last year. However, it did not end up being enough to sway the judges. Unlike the first contest, Blencowe did not allow Budd to turn the bout into a grappling contest. The Australian initiated striking battles early and often in the fight. Budd seemed to be behind, but she ended up walking away with the scorecard and held onto her title. It is hard to imagine Blencowe earning another title shot against Budd. She now has two losses against the champion and neither fight was very interesting from the fan perspective. Blencowe would be well served to consider a move back down to bantamweight.

Blencowe defeated Sinead Kavanagh via split decision (28-29, 30-27, 29-28) at Bellator 182 on Friday in Verona, N.Y.

Blencowe certainly had her moments in this fight. Kavanagh brought a lot of forward pressure to the cage and landed most of the strikes. Blencowe was a shade more conservative and waited to counter. The Australian managed to land some hard shots and left Kavanagh's face damaged, and it was enough to swing the judges. Blencowe is now 3-2 in Bellator and 10-6 as a professional.
