Rising UFC women’s flyweight prospect Manon Fiorot will now take on a former champion in her next outing. Originally scheduled to face Katlyn Chookagian in France, the ‘Beast’ is now taking on Jessica Andrade after the ‘Blonde Fighter’ was removed from the card for undisclosed reasons, per MMA Junkie’s Nolan King.
The UFC’s website has since confirmed the matchup.
Currently on a four-fight winning streak in the Octagon, Fiorot (9-1) will most likely secure a title shot should she get past Andrade in September. During her UFC run, the 32-year-old has already scored wins over Victoria Leonardo, Tabatha Ricci, Mayra Bueno Silva, and Jennifer Maia.
