Can Manon Fiorot overcome the challenge of Katlyn Chookagian at UFC 280?

Manon Fiorot has taken the UFC flyweight division by storm. The French fighter has been in just four bouts and already finds herself inside the top 10 at 125 pounds, sitting in the No.7 spot.

The French striker will make her first UFC pay-per-view appearance when she takes on former title challenger Chookagian at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. A statement performance from 'The Beast' could instantly catapult her into title contention.

Ranked No.1 in the division, Katlyn Chookagian will be the biggest challenge Fiorot has faced thus far. The American has been on a roll as of late with four straight victories. 'Blonde Fighter' edged out Amanda Ribas in May after notching a decision victory over Jennifer Maia in January.

However, Chookagian hasn't finished a fight since 2016. Fiorot, on the other hand, has looked extremely sharp with her striking, having finished three of her last four opponents inside two rounds.

The Frenchwoman will look to carry that momentum into her next bout at UFC 280 on Saturday.
