Is just me or Manon Fiorot is pretty overrated?

I'm not saying she's a bad fighter or anything but I can't see anything special about her beyond her privileged size for 125. She is not the best striker and much less the better grappler. Is her take down defense great? The only one tried took her to the ground was the not very athletic Blanchfield and her telepgraphed takedowns

Seems to me she is a younger Holly Holm
 
If an undefeated Fiorot who dominated former champ Rose and beat rising contender Blanchfield who people thought is future champ is overrated, then I dont know who is good enough in your opinion TS.
I think she's good but not as good as people claims
Rose didn't convince me at 125, she looks weaker than others girls, slower than used to be at 115 and has slowed down in the last few rounds (she let Tracy beat her in boxing in the last rounds)
Blanchfield is an unidimensional that haven't proven much yet. Her best victories were against a PFL star who almost lose for a 41 years old and Andrade than has lost for eveyone recently
 
Eh, Blanchfield is one of the strongest grapplers in the division. You undermining Fiorots TDD by saying Blanchfield isn't athletic is weird.
Her bjj is very good but her wrestling is just average. Who did she take down? She looks like Felice Spencer, exchanges more than she would like because she can't take the girls down easily

Who is athletic in that division?
Fiorot, Maycee Barber, Valentina and Natalia Silva
 
I think what you mean to say is: "Is Manon Fiorot Champion material"; and although my immediate instinct is to reply "No", I look at a WMMA landscape with Valentina "Panic Wrestler" Shevchenko & Raquel "Fence Hugger" Pennington as Champions, and I see a fighter who is one decision snooze fest away from gold...⚜️
 
I think she is under-rated. She beat Rose and Erin, the top skilled fighters in her division. She is big for the division and hits hard. She is getting old so her tear may be short lived.

Big, athletic, decent power, good TDD. It doesn't take a lot to be special in the division sadly. She's not amazing and doesn't have one big thing that stands out but she's better than most girls she's fighting.

Unlike those two, who are inconsistent in their greatness/ability, Chook has always been solidly a top fighter by results alone, only ever getting beat by people who were worth a damn on their way to the title.

The only way to say Manon is overrated is to say the whole division is. She earned her spot by beating the others
 
It’s just you. I’m not labelling any undefeated fighter on a run as that

Dominated Rose?

LOL. Fiorot got outstruck by a one-handed Rose, who dislocated a finger on her lead hand in the first round.
