Manon Fiorot takes on former champion Alexa Grasso on Sept. 12 during the UFC's annual event celebrating Mexico's Independence Day. Two people with knowledge of the matchup confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. Heavy was first to report the news.
Fiorot (13-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) suffered her first octagon loss to flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 315. She rebounded by snapping Jasmine Jasudavicius' five-fight winning streak with a first-round TKO at UFC Fight Night 262 this past October.
After retaining her flyweight title in a split draw against Shevchenko in September 2023, Grasso (17-5-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) lost their trilogy bout at UFC 306. That was followed by a unanimous decision loss to surging contender Natalia Silva at UFC 315, before Grasso rebounded with one of the best finishes of the year, a Performance of the Night knockout of Maycee Barber at UFC Fight Night 271 in March.
