Mick Maynard’s Shoes: What’s next for Manon Fiorot after UFC on ESPN 54 win?

Manon Fiorot strengthened her case for a women’s flyweight title shot Saturday when she emerged victorious from the clash of contenders with Erin Blanchfield at UFC on ESPN 54.

Fiorot (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) kept her undefeated octagon streak intact with her most high-profile win to date against Blanchfield (12-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC), scoring a lopsided unanimous decision victory in their headlining clash at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J.

Under most circumstances, Fiorot would be undeniable to move straight into a title shot. However, with champion Alexa Grasso currently coaching Season 32 of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show opposite Valentina Shevchenko ahead of an expected trilogy bout in September, it complicates Fiorot’s path.

Should she sit tight and wait for the shot? Or keep active against another contender? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Fiorot’s future after UFC on ESPN 54.
