Valentina Shevchenko still rules the women's flyweight division.
Shevchenko (25-4-1 MMA, 14-3-1 UFC) entered the octagon to face Manon Fiorot as she aimed to secure the first title defense of her second reign. The women's flyweight title fight served as the co-main event of UFC 315 at Bell Centre in Montreal. After 25 minutes, Shevchenko did enough in the judges' eyes to defeat Fiorot (12-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) unanimously with 48-47 scores across the board.
Fiorot came out with forward pressure early but was promptly slowed by sharp counters from Shevchenko. As the round continued to unfold, Fiorot was more calculated with her striking.
