“I’m No. 6, Alexa is No. 5, so I’m pretty sure it’s the fight to make,” Fiorot told MMA Junkie. “I hope the UFC can make this fight in July, and I think it’s the fight to make because after that I can call out Katlyn for September or October, and that’s the correct way for Valentina.”

She continued, “I don’t just want a shot at Valentina. I want to fight and win against her. So I think with two more fights, I’ll be more experienced, and my confidence will be 100 percent that I can win this fight with a good show.”

Alexa Grasso is a fight Manon Fiorot likes a lot as it will most likely be fought on the feet. The French UFC flyweight is confident she's better everywhere in the matchup.

“I really want to fight against her in the stand up,” Fiorot said. “I think my stand up is better, I think my wrestling is better. I think I can fight against her on the ground, so yeah, it’s a good fight for me. I think she has really good boxing, but I’m the better striker.”

She continued, “First, I really want to strike against her to show my skills and to prove to everybody that I’m the better striker, but if she wants to grapple and wrestle with me, I can take her down and finish the fight on the ground too.”
