Manon Fiorot Record: 13-2-0

Rise through the flyweight ranks

Fiorot's UFC debut in January 2021 was emphatic: a second-round TKO of Victoria Leonardo via head kick and punches. She kept the finishes coming with a second-round TKO of Tabatha Ricci in June 2021, then proved she could win the harder, longer fights too, outpointing Mayra Bueno Silva in October 2021 and the veteran Jennifer Maia in March 2022. A unanimous-decision win over Katlyn Cerminara at UFC 280 in October 2022 pushed her firmly into the contender conversation.

Title challenge and elite resume

The signature wins followed. Fiorot defeated former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas by unanimous decision in September 2023, then turned in a career-best performance against top contender Erin Blanchfield, winning a five-round unanimous decision in March 2024 to cement her standing as the clear No. 1 contender. That earned her a flyweight title shot against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 315 in May 2025, a closely contested five-round bout Fiorot lost by unanimous decision – the only blemish on her record besides her pro debut. She returned in October 2025 and reminded everyone of her ceiling with a first-round TKO of Jasmine Jasudavicius.

Fighting style

Fiorot is a striking specialist whose karate and kickboxing roots show in her range management, footwork, and crisp, powerful combinations. Seven of her 13 wins come by knockout, with the other six by decision, reflecting a fighter who can finish but is equally comfortable banking rounds with volume and accuracy. Her length and timing make her difficult to hit cleanly, and her takedown defense has held up against quality grapplers. Both of her losses have come by decision, never by finish – a testament to her durability – and the Shevchenko bout showed she belongs among the very best, even in defeat.
