Erin Blanchfield calls for interim flyweight title fight with UFC foe Manon Fiorot: ‘I’ll beat her’

Surging flyweight contender, Erin Blanchfield has called for an interim title fight with French contender, Manon Fiorot in her return to the Octagon next year – urging the UFC to get to work on either an interim title clash, or speed up a trilogy clash between undisputed champion, Alexa Grasso, and Valentina Shevchenko.

Blanchfield, the current number two ranked flyweight contender, most recently turned in an impressive decision win over former title challenger and promotional alum, Taila Santos back in August on the main card of UFC Fight Night Singapore.

As for Fiorot, the Nice native managed to land the number three rank at flyweight back in September in her native France – turning in a decision win of her own over former two-time strawweight champion, Rose Namajunas, who made her flyweight divisional berth.
