Manon Fiorot: UFC told me beating Alexa Grasso gets me title shot

"Before my fight against Valentina, I just focused on winning, and just winning," Fiorot said. "I don't care to be a point fighter or stuff like that. I just think about win, and that's it. After that, I think about my mindset, and I think I fight to be fun right now, and after I think about the finish. "

With Grasso also rebounding with a first-round finish – a , Fiorot is confident this is a No. 1 contender bout.

"Yeah, 100 percent," Fiorot said. "The winner of this fight gets the next title shot. We talked to the UFC about it. "

UFC flyweight champion Shevchenko relinquished her belt due to injury, resulting in Natalia Silva and Wang Cong battling for the vacant title in the UFC 332 headliner on Oct. 3 at Salt Lake City.

"To be honest, I think it's a very good thing for the division because now all the girls can fight and have a lot of fights for years," Fiorot said. "Definitely a good thing. I don't really pay attention about Cong's fight, I never seen her in video, but I know she's a striker. It's a good matchup for her, but I think Natalia is more experienced, and I think she wins this fight. "
