The main event of UFC Atlantic City in 2024 was an all-female affair, with Fiorot battling Blanchfield for a shot at Shevchenko’s UFC Women’s Flyweight title.
Despite an early scare in the first round when Blanchfield managed to secure a guillotine choke on Fiorot, the French fighter largely dominated all five-rounds of their 15 minute encounter.
She resisted her opponent’s attempts to clinch whenever possible, using her size and strength to her advantage as Fiorot earned a unanimous decision win in Atlantic City.
