Fight Preview

Manon Fiorot is 10-1 overall, with her only loss happening by decision on her professional debut. When it comes to her wins, six of them happened by KO/TKO, and four by decision. Sheโ€™s a great striker who lands 6.58 significant strikes per minute, which is the fourth-highest number in the UFC Womenโ€™s Flyweight division.  

Sheโ€™s even better when it comes to strike defense. In fact, with 71.7% of the opponentโ€™s significant strikes defended, she ranks No. 1 in the 125lb division. The Frenchwoman is also great when it comes to takedowns, recording at least one in each of her five UFC fights.

Fiorot is taking on Namajunas (11-5) whoโ€™s probably better than her technically, but who simply doesnโ€™t have enough power to finish her. Rose is two inches shorter than Manon, and until recently, was fighting in the 115lb division.


Manon Fiorot vs. Rose Namajunas Prediction

Manon Fiorot is fighting in front of her fans on Saturday, which should be an extra bit of motivation for the French mixed martial artist to do well. Sheโ€™s probably way more powerful than Namajunas, so getting a KO/TKO win would not surprise us.
