Flyweight Manon Fiorot Hopes To Cement Her Claim On A Title Shot With A Win At UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs Fiorot
Manon Fiorot had her plans laid out plainly before her last fight. She would walk out with the Parisian crowd cheering her on for the first time in the Octagon, beat Rose Namajunas and get a shot at the flyweight title. As far as what she could control, she did everything right. For three rounds, she outdueled the former strawweight champion and got her hand raised via unanimous decision. However, when Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko fought to a draw a few weeks later at Noche UFC, everything got thrown up in the air.
