Valentina Shevchenko will attempt to the first title defense of her second reign against Manon Fiorot. This UFC women's flyweight championship bout scheduled for five rounds is taking place Saturday, May 10 at Bell Centre in Montreal.
Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) held the title from 2018 to 2023 and made seven consecutive title defenses before she was upset by Alexa Grasso. That set up two more fights with Grasso, the first of which ended in a split draw, but Shevchenko reclaimed her belt last September with a unanimous decision.
Manon Fiorot (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) has been patient in her pursuit of a title shot as she had to wait for the Shevchenko-Grasso trilogy to play out.
