Does Erin Blanchfield deserves the next title shot at the women's UFC flyweight belt after Aalentina Shevchenko got upset by Alexa Grasso. After Shavkat Rakhmonov's win over Geoff Neal at UFC 285, he called for a title shot. Should he get the winner of UFC 286's Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman? In boxing, Brandon Figueroa earned the unanimous decision victory over Mark Magsayo, but was the fight closer than the scorecards indicated?
