Manon Fiorot sounds off on Valentina Shevchenko ahead of UFC 315 title clash
Manon Fiorot recently took aim at Valentina Shevchenko ahead of their women's flyweight title fight at UFC 315 and claimed that 'Bullet' is overlooking her.
UFC Europe recently posted a quote from Fiorot in which she blasted Shevchenko for being disrespectful by basically dismissing her status as the top contender in the division:
"I don't think Valentina respects me. I was present for her fight against Grasso for which I was backup. After her victory, she never deigned to mention my name. Being on a seven-fight winning streak, it would have been legitimate for her to confirm me as the next challenger, but she didn't."
