Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another one of my fight breakdowns. Today, we’re talking about the showdown between Manon Fiorot and Rose Namajunas. Let me tell you, this one was a doozy!
So, first things first, I had to do my homework. I dug up some dirt on both fighters. Namajunas, she’s a former champ, but word on the street, according to Michael Bisping, is that she lost her title to Esparza once and didn’t want a repeat. That’s gotta mess with your head, right? And money-wise, she’s pulling in around 100-300 grand per fight, not too shabby. Her next fight’s against Erin Blanchfield, scheduled for November 2nd, 2024, in Edmonton. That’s gonna be a banger, for sure.
Now, onto Fiorot. This girl’s a beast. No knockdowns in the fight, but she landed 58 out of 225 significant strikes. That’s some serious striking. I watched the fight live, and I gotta say, it was intense from start to finish.
Here’s how it all went down:
- I started by getting the lay of the land, checking out both fighters’ recent performances and stats.
- Then, I tuned into the fight. Grabbed my snacks, got comfy, and watched it unfold.
- Throughout the fight, I was scribbling notes like a madman, jotting down key moments, strikes, and any shifts in momentum.
- After the final bell, I reviewed my notes and cross-referenced them with the official scores.
The Verdict
According to MMA Fighting, it was a clean sweep for Fiorot, 30-27. And the official decision? Unanimous for Fiorot, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28. It went down on September 2nd, 2023, at the Accor Arena in Paris. The news broke around 9:56 AM EDT on September 5th, 2023. Man, what a fight!
That’s it for today’s breakdown, folks. Catch you in the next one!
