Matches to Make After UFC on ESPN 54

Manon Fiorot is about to make a tough decision: wait for a deserved title shot or risk her top contender spot by competing again.

France may be one more win away from a Ultimate Fighting Championship belt if Fiorot’s request is granted. Showcasing her superior striking for five rounds, Fiorot earned a clean sweep of the scorecards against Erin Blanchfield to potentially punch her ticket to flyweight gold. The strong Fiorot claimed she wanted to wait for the winner of Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko. It remains to be seen if that decision will hold up after a few months of inactivity, and there is an option for her if she wants to set foot in the cage once more before a championship appearance.
