Cory Chookagian vs Song Fiorot - The Fight in Detail

In order to have the best analysis of the Chookagian vs Fiorot prediction, it is crucial to introduce you to the characteristics of both opponents!

While the fight between the two fighters was on the bill and was scheduled to take place at UFC Paris on September 3, Frenchwoman Manon Fiorot ultimately did not face Katlyn Chookagian due to a knee injury. A new date could fortunately be set quickly as they will have the opportunity to trade blows at UFC 280 which takes place on Saturday 22 October at Abu Dhabi's Etihad Arena.

Katlyn Chookagian is a 33-year-old MMA fighter currently ranked in the discipline's flyweight division. Although she is not the champion (title held by Valentina Shevchenko), she is number 1 in the category and has every intention of getting a fight against the champion next. It is therefore with a lot at stake that the American will fight this bout in order not to be held back in her career once again as she had been in the past.

Indeed, she already had the opportunity to get the title. Since in February 2020 she had faced the champion, but lost in the third round by KO. This defeat was very detrimental and was for a while a brake on her progress. She then had two fights with mixed results before getting back on track and adding 4 consecutive wins to her record. Her opponent during this event should not have an easy victory.

Manon Fiorot is a 32 year old MMA fighter in the flyweight category. She masters several disciplines: she is an expert in kick-boxing, Thai boxing, and even holds a belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. However, her MMA style is mainly centred around Karate. This sportswoman at heart practiced sports early in her life since she was in sport studies when she was young, and has acquired flawless values that allow her to face all challenges.

As you can see, The Beast excels in the discipline. Indeed, the last 4 UFC fights she has fought have all been won: two by KO and two by unanimous decision. She is number one in the national rankings in France, and seventh in the world. She has also won 9 of her last 10 matches. It should be noted that she is not a first timer: in the Gulf countries, she was champion of the UAE Warriors in 2020 and of the EFC Worldwide, in 2019.

The Frenchwoman, Manon Fiorot is on a great dynamic and it is certain that she does not take her preparation lightly. After recovering from her knee injury, she will be at 100% and will have her heart set on winning this fight to go for a UFC title fight against Valentina Shevchenko. Victory for Fiorot from Nice!
