Remains perfect in UFC
Fiorot defeated Rose Namajunas via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
While it wasn't the dominant stoppage win Fiorot was certainly seeking, she was unquestionably the better fighter in a matchup against a former UFC champion, albeit one competing in a lighter weight class. Manon did a good job of sticking to the outside and landing the more meaningful strikes. Most importantly, she stuffed all six of Rose's takedown attempts. By far the most damage Fiorot absorbed in the fight was a massive gash following an accidental clash of heads between the two women. A perfect 6-0 in the UFC and set to turn 34 years of age next February, the company might as well push Fiorot to the moon and let the chips fall where they may.

Looks to stay perfect vs Namajunas
Fiorot will take on Rose Namajunas in a flyweight bout at a UFC event in Paris on Sept. 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Fiorot will look to remain perfect in the UFC and increase her win streak to six wins with the promotion. In her last fight, she bested Katlyn Chookagian via unanimous decision. Her opponent Namajunas is coming off a loss and will be looking to bounce back.

Earns win over heavy opponent
Fiorot defeated Katlyn Chookagian via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 280 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Fiorot picked up the biggest victory of her professional career and added 20 percent of Chookagian's purse in the process after the latter missed weight by 1.5 pounds Friday morning. Like many opponents before her, Fiorot struggled with the length of Katlyn for about a round. She was considerably more effective, particularly defensively, over the course of the final ten minutes before wisely sealing the deal with the only successful takedown of the fight with limited time remaining. It's a huge win for Fiorot, but it was far from a dominant performance and likely doesn't move the needle much in terms of her earning a title shot. That said, the 125-pound female division is by far the thinnest in the company, and there's room for immediate advancement, whether it's deserved or not.
