Manon Fiorot has revealed she wants to welcome Rose Namajunas to the women’s flyweight division if the former strawweight champ decides to move up in weight.

Manon Fiorot is currently the No.1 ranked fighter in the women’s flyweight division, and is more than deserving of a crack at the title next. However, Fiorot is currently recovering from injury, and will not return to training until April or March of 2023. Considering the 125lb champion, Valentina Shevchenko’s active schedule, it seems unlikely that Fiorot’s return will coincide with ‘Bullet’s’ next title defense.

With Erin Blanchfield set to take on Taila Santos and Jessica Andrade booked to face off against Lauren Murphy, both in early 2023, Manon Fiorot is at serious risk of being left behind in the title picture. As a result, she has set her sights on another big name in women’s MMA.

Rose Namajunas is one of the most recongisable figures in the entire landscape of women’s MMA, and lately, rumors are circulating around a move up in weight for ‘Thug Rose.’ If this does happen, Manon Fiorot is more than happy to welcome her to the 125lb division.

In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, ‘The Beast’ had the following to say:

“Waiting on Valentina is not an option for me, because I really want to fight in August. In my mind, in my mindset, I say to everyone I will beat Valentina. So if I say that, I can win against anybody in the division. So I don’t care who I fight in August. I don’t know against who, but I heard two weeks or three weeks ago that Rose (Namajunas) wants to move up to the flyweight division. I’m the No. 1 contender, so if she comes, she has to fight me. Then after we can see.” (H/T MMA Junkie)

Shevchenko, 34, most recently co-headlined UFC 275 back in June of this year in Singapore against Brazilian contender, Santos, narrowly defending her flyweight throne in a close, split decision victory in Kallang.

The win ensured Shevchenko continued her perfect run at the flyweight limit since her move to the weight class back in 2018 – extending her undefeated record at 125lbs to nine fights to boot.

For Fiorot, the France native improved to 10-1 as a professional at UFC 280 back in October on ‘Fight Island’ handing common-foe and one-time title challenger, Katlyn Chookagian a unanimous decision loss. The victory also saw Fiorot land at #1 in the official flyweight rankings to boot.

Valentina Shevchenko floats 2023 fight against Manon Fiorot

Welcoming an Octagon return as soon as possible, Shevchenko mentioned a potential fight with the aforenoted, Fiorot as a potential next opponent.

“I was thinking about Manon Fiorot to defend my title – to defend flyweight [title next],” Valentina Shevchenko told The Schmo during a recent interview. And I asked [the UFC] to send me the agreement as soon as they can because I was ready to fight in December. I was ready to fight tomorrow. But yeah, [we] probably will do it next year.”

As far as an immediate title rematch with Santos is concerned, however, Kyrgyzstan native, Shevchenko has urged the Brazilian to earn her shot at flyweight spoils.

“Taila, she kind of has to prove about herself, that she deserves this title again,” Valentina Shevchenko explained. “Because she recently started to speak too much. And these kind of girls, young girls, they have a few victories, some losses, and they have too much ego, and they are starting to speak about themselves like they are something.” (Transcribed by MMA News)
