On today’s episode of UFC Unfiltered, Jim Norton and Matt Serra are joined by #1 ranked women’s flyweight contender Manon Fiorot — who joins the show for an engaging interview with responses translated from French into English.

Fiorot opens up about her experience as the backup fighter for the co-main event at UFC 306 between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko, sharing her thoughts on how the trilogy unfolded before ultimately previewing how a fight between her and Shevchenko could look.

The French native discusses her martial arts journey, starting karate at age 7, and reflects on how she has evolved into a well-rounded mixed martial artist over the last 27 years.

With the UFC slated to return to Paris for another exciting card this weekend, Fiorot also shares her excitement about the rapid growth of MMA in her native country since the sport’s legalization in 2020.

Jim Norton and Matt Serra close out the episode with three predictions each from this Saturday's card in Paris headlined by Renato Moicano and Benoît Saint Denis.
