Alright, let’s talk about that Fiorot versus Namajunas fight. I’d been keeping an eye on this matchup for a while. You know how it is, you see the announcements, you hear the buzz. Rose is always a big draw, former champ and all that. Fiorot, she’s been making waves, looked real powerful in her recent fights. So I thought, yeah, I need to see this one.
So, come fight night, I made sure to clear my schedule a bit. Didn’t want distractions. Found the right channel – sometimes that’s half the battle, right? Settled down, got comfortable. I like watching these things unfold live if I can. There’s just a different energy to it.
Watching it Go Down
The fight started, and right away you could see Fiorot looked physically strong in there. She was using her reach, trying to keep Rose at bay. Rose, well, she’s got that slick movement, always dangerous. It wasn’t like a wild slugfest, more calculated, I guess?
My Observations During the Fight:
- Fiorot seemed really focused on her game plan. Lots of kicks.
- Rose was trying to find her angles, get inside maybe.
- It felt like a tactical battle for a lot of it. Both fighters showing respect for the other’s power.
- Went the full three rounds, if I remember correctly. No easy finish for either of them.
Honestly, watching it, I wasn’t entirely sure which way the judges would lean. It felt close in moments, though Fiorot seemed to land the harder shots maybe, or control the distance more. You just watch and wait for that final announcement.
The Result and My Thoughts
Then they read the decision. Manon Fiorot takes it. Can’t say I was totally shocked, because Fiorot looked good, but it’s always significant when someone beats a name like Rose Namajunas. That’s a big feather in Fiorot’s cap.
After the fight, I just sat there thinking about it. It really shakes up the division, doesn’t it? Puts Fiorot right in the title conversation, for sure. Tough night for Rose, makes you wonder what her next move will be. But hey, that’s fighting. Someone wins, someone loses. It’s about seeing how they perform under pressure, the heart they show. Fiorot definitely proved she belongs at the top. It was a solid performance, and definitely a fight worth watching if you follow the sport.
