Former UFC Flyweight title Challenger Manon Fiorot is planned for her Bounceback Kans at UFC Vancouver.
Many believed that Manon Fiorot would falter in a new era in the Flyweight Division for Women's Flyweight against Valentina Shevchenko on UFC 315 earlier this year. But after he had fallen through a unanimous decision in her first UFC loss of the champion Shevchenko, Fiorot is back in the role of the competition, because she wants to make a way back to a title shot.
Fiorot, one of the most dangerous contenders in the Flyweight Division of the UFC Women, was unbeaten by her first seven UFC fights before the loss against Shevchenko. Fiorot has confronted with many of the top stars of the division and will be confronted with a rising competition for her next fight at UFC Vancouver.
