Manon Fiorot vows to retire Valentina Shevchenko in potential UFC title fight
Manon Fiorot is getting impatient with her wait for a UFC title shot.
Fiorot (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has steadily knocked off contenders while the title fight trilogy between Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso played out. Now that Shevchenko has emerged with the women's flyweight belt, Fiorot is eager to finally book her first championship opportunity.
The Frenchwoman took to social media on Friday and made a pointed callout at Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC), declaring that she will take the belt and send "The Bullet" into retirement from the sport (via X):
Stop making people wait! Let's do it soon enough so I can send you to retirement and move on.
Fiorot, No. 3 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie women's flyweight rankings, has yet to be beaten under the UFC banner. The 34-year-old has already defeated Erin Blanchfield, Rose Namajunas, Mayra Bueno Silva and more during her run, and is looking to climb the ultimate prize of UFC gold.
In a recent interview on "The Ariel Helwani Show," No. 1-ranked Shevchenko said she is open to a fight with Fiorot, who weighed in as the backup fighter when Shevchenko reclaimed the 125-pound belt from Grasso at UFC 306 in September.
