Noche UFC: Manon Fiorot vs. Alexa Grasso: Prediction
I predict a decision win for Grasso over Fiorot mainly because of the stylistic matchup. Grasso is the more well-rounded fighter and utilizes both her striking and grappling skills, while Fiorot, drawing on her karate background, relies heavily on her striking.
Grasso can use her striking as a decoy for a level change and shoot for a takedown. Once on the ground, Grasso is expected to throw a lot of ground-and-pound strikes and transition to submission techniques.
The former UFC women’s flyweight queen should take a page out of Shevchenko’s fight plan against Fiorot, when she traded strikes early before shooting for a takedown and dominating Fiorot in top position.
