Any Chance Manon Gets A Last Minute Replacement?

Wow, that's weird.
Well maybe the UFC have changed their mind.

I expect the UFC might simply be delaying the removal from the rankings until she has agreed a new deal elsewhere. (UFC being "nice").
OR
they might have offered her a new contract with LESS money. Implicit in that is the message to her. And naturally she will not like that and go somewhere else. My guess is she might end up at Bellator.

She does win a lot of fights, but she has an inability to finish, or even TRY to finish and she really doesn't bring eyes, or $$$, or excitement to the UFC events, and she's 'in the way' of other up and comers so.... yeah. There's more to being a fighter that the UFC want to keep than just keep banging in rather tedious decision wins. You have to do more than that these days.

plus Casey O'Neill
and Alexa Grasso.

and *maybe* Miranda Maverick if she actually can get back into the win column on a regular basis after getting absolutely dominated by Blanchfield recently. She seems to spend (my view) a bit too much time hawking & promoting sponsors products & all that stuff judging by her IG. Needs to develop some really strong weapons to progress IMO.

Yes Casey O'Neill she's the big one I was forgetting

Yeah that's I thought for sure she'd be off the rankings already.
I kinda liked watching her even though she frustrated me at times (the finishing, or lack thereof).

I think bellator would be her best chance at a title tbh.
 
I do think that Manon Fiorot is one of the most exciting 125lb female fighters I've seen.
Striking is her thing and she is very aggressive & goes for the finish and I like that.

I hope she is working on her BJJ and wrestling because she will have to have those tools as well.
But of the up and comers in 125lbs..... Fiorot is the one I most hope does really well, just due to her figthing style. She is NOT a point fighter. She goes for it and I'm sure the UFC want her to do well as fast as possible.

Shevchenko will eventually retire sooner or later......

Yeah she has tons of potential sir.
 
Tapology shows Manon has been booked against Jennifer Maia on 3/26, the Dakaus/Blaydes card

Oh fuck. Maia could very well give her issues. Definitely would be more competitive than the Eye fight. Would be a great win for her tho.
