Fiorot Confirms UFC Title Shot On Line Against Grasso

Manon Fiorot has a clear path to another flyweight title shot if she can get past Alexa Grasso this weekend.

The French contender told media the UFC confirmed the winner of their Noche UFC 4 clash on Sept. 12 in Glendale will challenge for the 125-pound belt next. "The UFC clearly states that the winner gets the title shot," Fiorot said, per Sherdog.

High Stakes at Noche UFC 4

Fiorot dropped a decision to Valentina Shevchenko in a title fight last year but rebounded with a win over Jasmine Jasudavicius. Grasso, the former champion who lost the belt back to Shevchenko before regaining it in their trilogy, stopped Maycee Barber in her most recent outing.

The flyweight championship sits vacant after Shevchenko relinquished the strap due to a long-term injury. Natalia Silva and Cong Wang are scheduled to fight for the vacant title at UFC 332.

Fiorot added that she thrives under the heightened expectations. "We know now that it's a very, very important fight for the next of the division, so win, win, win, definitely," she said. "I am better with this pressure on me."
