Manon Fiorot showcased her prowess for a women's flyweight title shot in a thrilling showdown against Erin Blanchfield at UFC on ESPN 54. The clash of these contenders at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., was a highlight of the event, with Fiorot emerging victorious, maintaining her undefeated streak in the octagon.
Fiorot's win against Blanchfield, a lopsided unanimous decision, was a significant milestone in her UFC career, improving her record to 12-1 MMA, with a flawless 7-0 record in the UFC.
