By The Numbers: Manon Fiorot vs. Rose Namajunas

Degree of difficulty continues to rise for Manon Fiorot inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s flyweight division.

“The Beast” will welcome former strawweight champion Rose Namajunas to the 125-pound weight class in the UFC Fight Night 226 co-main event on Saturday at Accor Arena in Paris. Fiorot—who has never fought in her native France—enters the Octagon on the strength of 10 straight victories. She last appeared at UFC 280, where she laid claim to a three-round unanimous decision over Katlyn Chookagian on Oct. 22. Namajunas, meanwhile, has rattled off three wins in four outings. She has not competed since May 7, 2022, when she surrendered the 115-pound title in a unanimous decision defeat to Carla Esparza at UFC 274.
