BAD MMA News — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 19:11:46 +0000

ABU DHABI – Many rising prospects have had their coming out parties spoiled by Katlyn Chookagian – but Manon Fiorot made sure she was not one of them. In the UFC 280 main card opener, Fiorot (10-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) jabbed and moved her way to a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) win over Chookagian (18-5 MMA, 11-5 UFC). The bout was closely contested as both women showcased technical striking. Chookagian seemed to edge the exchanges early, with her signature “hut-hut-hut” audible upon each exchange

Gatekeeper to Valentina Shevchenko? Katlyn Chookagian would rather be UFC champ, but ‘it’s not a bad place to be’

BAD MMA News — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 21:06:13 +0000

ABU DHABI – Katlyn Chookagian is in a weird spot, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Perennially among the top few women’s flyweights in the UFC rankings, Chookagian (18-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) has proven to be a difficult out to nearly every opponent not named Valentina Shevchenko (23-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC). Seemingly in the role as an unofficial gatekeeper to the champion, Chookagian has embraced the position. “I’d prefer to be in Valentina’s position, to be honest,” Chookagian told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday.

Manon Fiorot on facing Katlyn Chookagian at UFC 280: ‘I win this fight, and I swear it’s not boring’

BAD MMA News — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 21:22:27 +0000

ABU DHABI – Manon Fiorot is here at UFC 280 to put on a show and earn a title shot. Fiorot (9-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) meets former women’s flyweight title challenger Katlyn Chookagian (18-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC) in Saturday’s pay-per-view main card opener at Etihad Arena, which streams on ESPN+ pay-per-view. Fiorot went from being booked against Chookagian, to Jessica Andrade, and then back to Chookagian. But the rising contender, who is on a nine-fight winning streak, is happy to be fighting the No. 1-ranked flyweight and expects a win to earn her a shot at champion Valentina Shevchenko. “It’s better for the rankings, because Katyln is higher,” Fiorot told MMA Junkie.

The UFC makes its annual visit to Abu Dhabi on Saturday with UFC 280 , which goes down at Etihad Arena on Yas Island with a main card that airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNNews and ESPN+.

Manon Fiorot ’s desired matchup against Katlyn Chookagian is back in play. After calling out Chookagian (18-4 MMA, 11-4 UFC), Fiorot (9-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) got her wish and was matched up against the former women’s flyweight title challenger at a UFC Fight Night event in Paris at Accor Arena on Sept. 3.
