Fiorot can make a big step closer to her dream title fight in if she can pass the test this weekend against a legitimate UFC star. The 33-year-old Fiorot has yet to suffer a defeat through five fights in the UFC thus far. In her most recent bout, Fiorot scored yet another unanimous decision, as she dominated Katlyn Chookagian in last October’s UFC 280: Oliveira vs. Makhachev.
That’s the third fight in a row in which she came out on top with a unanimous decision victory. Prior to that streak, though, Fiorot had scored five consecutive knockout wins. As the naturally bigger fighter than Namajunas, Fiorot has the confidence that she can take hits and dish out more damaging strikes from and to Namajunas.

“Thug” Rose wants everyone to know that moving up in weight class will not diminish her thorny side. After losing her UFC strawweight title to Carla Esparza in May 2022, Namajunas is finally making her return to action, this time as a flyweight. Even though she’s been away from the Octagon for over a year, the star power is still there for Namajunas, who has two wins against current strawweight champion Zhang Weili.
The 31-year-old Namajunas is certainly used to fighting under brighter lights, so she should be able to handle the crowd and atmosphere in France this coming weekend, with the great majority of those attending the fight expected to pull for her opponent.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Manon Fiorot vs Rose Namajunas
Namajunas proves she can be just as dangerous in the flyweight division as she was back in the strawweight class.
Prediction:
Namajunas wins via submission.
