Manon Fiorot might not be the UFC's next flyweight title challenger, but she's definitely on deck.
Fiorot (12-1) solidified her status as the next No. 1 contender on Saturday with a dominant performance over Erin Blanchfield in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Fiorot, of Nice, France, thwarted Blanchfield's attempts to take her down and landed the cleaner strikes enroute to unanimous 50-45 judges' scorecards. The 125-pound women's main event headlined the first UFC event in Atlantic City since 2018.

Fiorot, 34, improved to 7-0 in the UFC and will almost certainly face the winner of a championship trilogy match between Mexican champion Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko later this year.
"I'm ready," Fiorot said. "I want the title, that's it. I'm ready, no matter what."
Blanchfield (12-2), who fights out of New York, showed a lot of heart over the course of the five-round main event, but she was simply overmatched against the bigger, better striker. Fiorot's physicality was a major difference in the contest, as Blanchfield struggled to get the fight to the ground or control things along the fence. Blanchfield's greatest strength is her grappling, but the 24-year-old seemed to accept Fiorot would be difficult to bring down and challenged her on the feet.
According to UFC Stats, Fiorot outlanded Blanchfield in total strikes 164 to 142. Although the discrepancy in total strikes wasn't awful, Fiorot clearly landed the harder strikes, primarily relying on her counter right hand. She opened a cut over Blanchfield's right eye in the third round and stunned her with another right hand in the fourth.
Fiorot's run includes wins over Blanchfield, Rose Namajunas, Katlyn Cerminara and Jennifer Maia.
Igor Severino, who was released from the UFC after biting his opponent last weekend, said there is "nothing that could justify" his actions that night.
Severino, of Brazil, was disqualified in the second round of his UFC debut, after he bit down on Andre Lima's left arm. The bite left a very visible mark, and quickly resulted in UFC CEO Dana White announcing Severino would not fight for the UFC again. White also awarded Lima the first-ever "Bite of the Night" $50,000 bonus.
In an interview this week, Severino, 20, said he doesn't remember biting Lima and doesn't understand what prompted him to do it.
"I remember everything that was happening until I got hit with something really hard," Severino told MMAJunkie. "I watched the video later and I thought it was an elbow. From there, I was on autopilot. I don't remember anything. I've never done anything outside the barriers of the sport. To me, I couldn't comprehend what's going on.
"If you look at the fight, many people came to me and said, 'Hey, you were winning the round. Why did you do that?' I watched the video and yes, I think it was one round apiece, or you could say I was winning. There was nothing that could justify me biting."
Severino (8-1) went on to say his family has received threatening messages in the aftermath of the incident, which has garnered global attention. The Nevada State Athletic Commission has placed a hold on Severino's purse for the bout, pending a disciplinary hearing.
Following Severino's disqualification and subsequent UFC release, Lima actually expressed sympathy for his fellow Brazilian. There was no bad blood between the two before or during the fight. Severino said he hopes the moment does not end up defining his MMA career and hopes the UFC will eventually give him another chance.
"I know things look pretty bad for me right now and I just want people to see the person that I am," Severino said. "Please just let me have a career again. Please give me a chance to come back and redeem myself. Please let me show you all who I really am."
