Manon Fiorot Thrilled to Showcase New Skills After Tristar Gym Training
Manon Fiorot is ready to demonstrate her newly acquired skills following her recent training at Tristar Gym. The skilled fighter faced a setback in her UFC title match against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 315 in May, which marked her first defeat in the octagon. With a professional record of 12 wins to 2 losses and a current UFC record of 7 wins and 1 loss, Fiorot is aiming for a successful comeback.
Upcoming Fight against Jasmine Jasudavicius
This Saturday, Fiorot will compete against Jasmine Jasudavicius, who has a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, including 8 wins and 2 losses in the UFC. The fight will take place at UFC Fight Night 262, held at Rogers Arena.
Training at Tristar Gym
During her training camp, Fiorot worked closely with renowned coach Firas Zahabi at Tristar Gym, the training facility known for producing champions like Georges St-Pierre. Fiorot shared her excitement about this opportunity, noting, “This is the first time I left my hometown to train outside.” She focused on enhancing her striking and wrestling skills with Zahabi and his team.
Focused Adjustments
Fiorot emphasized her approach as an opportunity for “adjustments” rather than major changes. She stated, “It’s not about big change, just adjustment,” indicating that she made subtle improvements to her skill set. These refinements include elements of both her striking and wrestling games.
The Importance of Timing
Although a fight in her hometown would have been ideal, Fiorot recognized the need for additional preparation time after her previous loss. “I needed more time to refocus on me,” she explained. This greater focus has led her to view the upcoming bout as an advantageous opportunity.
