She seems like a very sweet person. Soft spoken. Will watch her next fight

[@Fitkid7672]

she's beastly in the cage.

[@maltormash1048]

Manon is underrated and she loves dogs so supporting her all the way.

[@jorrba3934]

I don’t think she’s underrated, she getting the title shot. That says it all.

[@Manesson]

​@@jorrba3934She got it after years of getting sidelined despite beating everyone including Rose iirc

[@peacethroughstrength172]

I don't think she is, it is what is with her.

[@jorrba3934]

@@Manesson It normally takes years to compete for the Title. She did it the right way. You first beat everyone, then you get the respect, that’s how you build a good résumé on your record. Manon was never in a hurry for a title shot from the very beginning, She said it herself. She was never overlooked.

[@StardustX7]

Manon is a very simple and fun person, it's unfortunate she doesn't speak english, but this interview is really great, I hope it will help english speaking MMA fans to know and appreciate her better, very nice job Ariel and great performance by Manon.

[@704Will]

i bet on fiorot to win and it paid off. dont even watch womens fights but i felt like blanchfield was biting off more that she could chew with manon's style and strength. bank account sitting pretty right now due to manon

[@lurk7411]

This girl is a real problem! She has a good chance at becoming champion

She is so 💕 lovely.

[@jeanlasalle5029]

Maycee thinking she can beat Manon or she deserves a title shot is funny. Manon is gonna mauled her on her feet or on the ground.

[@martin_ketchupvert]

Bravo Manon pour ton dernier combat et le prochain pour la ceinture !!! 🏆

[@crazypato3752]

Manon's favorite fighters are Khamzat and Dillashaw. The way she changed levels reminded me of Khamzat and the way she moved laterally to not get TD reminded me of Dillashaw.

[@TonyTinker-hc3zq]

She is low key the cutest female UFC fighter now.

[@JTD472]

So low key it’s almost like it’s not true

[@virtualsnake1994]

veronica macedo.

[@sayfarouaia4798]

Hope for her to be the first french UFC champion

[@yamabushiwarrior996]

Gane was the 1st UFC champ from france.

[@walterbell2763]

She's really cool and cute. She looks younger than her age. I'm elated that she won. Did Erin try to steal her new sneakers or something? Because she beat Erin like she tried to steal her footwear.😂😂😂

[@Mockracy]

She’s good, definitely interesting at 125 👍

[@yamabushiwarrior996]

Her fight against Blanchfield gave me Holly Holm vs Ronda Rosey vibes.

[@Therealvaulterwhite]

Gotta agree with her .. I can't imagine there is much interest here, MAYBE for a third fight just cuz many ppl had Val winning...but to do an entire TUF is wild no one gonna watch that

[@axelll814]

Manon is really cool!

[@chachadelacroix7216]

Super que Manon comprenne l'anglais, hâte qu'elle le parle aussi !

[@will83733]

Je pense qu'elle le parle déjà pas trop mal mais qu'elle est trop timide pour le montrer

[@legitor513]

c est très bien qu'lle parle joliment le français, autant pour les oreilles des francophones que pour celle des allophones qui ont l'occasionde découvrir une langue autre que le globish

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

The Beast 🥶

[@simmytom7684]

Massive fighter for that weight class. But her basics are crisp enough to be a top contender in the division.

[@jameswoods6900]

I like Manon Fiorot and the way she fights, I am done with Rose and the other points fighter! Manon Fiorot is the real deal and hope she beats the crap out of everyone!

[@sigma_curry]

Ariel pretending he can speak French at the beginning of the interview is a very Ariel thing to do.

[@jordylaplace4475]

His french seems legit tbh

[@SkateboardingMotivator]

She like a female GSP! I Love her!

[@westsidera97]

Elle est pas l’aise devant les médias mais humble ….. c’est une tueuse dans la cage c’est le principal ! …. She’s a réal killer in the cage !

[@ManuelRodriguez-db3hv]

I think she would do much better at bantamweight, she wouldn't need to cut that much weight and that division is kind of shallow.

[@stevenshipman6290]

I believe she fights in both divisions

[@dubongros3108]

That's what I thought , Ariel speaks French . Why all those weird English interviews with GSP then ?

[@d1kiz]

snoozefest of a fight

[@theguvnor3880]

Manon has heart and her striking is effective but I think Grasso/Valentina have too much in their arsenal. I also think the cut to championship weight will be hellacious, as will the 5 rounds.

[@Dylan-mn1qv]

her last fight was 5 rounds

[@theguvnor3880]

@@Dylan-mn1qv Not at championship weight though.

[@TS-cz7dn]

What are you even talking about out? She weighed 125.25 with a sports bra and shorts on… if it was a championship fight they would have brought the tent out and she would have stripped down and weighed 124.5-124.75 naked.
