When, where and how to watch?
Location: Accor Arena in Paris, France.

Manon Fiorot is arguably the best boxer in the 125lb division.
Manon Fiorot began her professional career as an MMA fighter in 2016, losing a decision to Leah McCourt, who currently competes in Bellator. However, after that, the French fighter went on to win the next 10 fights, five of which took place in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
She has six KO/TKO wins and four decision wins, which isn't surprising considering she's a damn good kickboxer. She landed 6.58 significant punches per minute, which is the fourth most in the UFC women's flyweight division.
However, it is her evasion skills that make her stand out from the others. She has the highest percentage of punches defended (71.7%) in her weight class. Add to that the fact that she hasn't finished yet, and you can see why the bookies favor her winning the UFC co-main event in Paris.
Is Rose Namajunas Ready for Flyweight?
The overall rating of Rose Namajunas is 11-5, all of her fights take place in the minimum weight. After losing the title to Carla Esparza in May 2022, she decided to move up to a higher weight class. Her 125 pound debut will be this Saturday.
She is a very technical striker, but probably not as good as Fiorot. However, she may be better than her French rival when it comes to wrestling on the floor. Although Fiorot has landed at least one takedown in every one of her UFC fights, she still hasn't had a single submission win. Namajunas has five victories with this method. However, the last time Tag defeated someone by submission was in 2017.
Prediction Manon Fiorot vs Rose Namajunas
Manon Fiorot is a much better kickboxer than Rose Namajunas. She is also much stronger than her opponent, meaning that "Bandit" doesn't have much of a chance of defeating her by submission. However, we consider it highly likely that Fioro will win in Paris, possibly by KO/TKO.
Choice: Victory Manon Fiorot
