Ralek Gracie sighting in Rose's corner. Wow.

Fiorot R1, but this is high paced and competitive. Rose still very much in it.

High level fighting @rosenamajunas #UFCParis

so they’re not even gonna address she can’t use her right hand anymore in her corner orrrr #UFCParis

10-9 manon #UFCParis

I like the mindset in Roses corner. BUT, if the finger is possibly dislocated, I would have rather seen the issue addressed real quick then back to forget about the pain mentality. #UFCParis

Surprised we haven’t seen more open side head kicks for Rose considering the successful moments past Fiorot opponents have had…

— Dan Tom (@DanTomMMA) September 2, 2023

Nasty clash of heads there and Fiorot is pouring blood on the right side of her face now. #UFCParis

— Matthew Wells (@MrMWells) September 2, 2023

With the new rule change, isn't a cutman allowed to come in and try to stop the cut due to the clash of heads? #UFCParis

— Adam Martin (@MMAdamMartin) September 2, 2023

In terms of bad cuts, no better spot than that

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) September 2, 2023

High level scrap between these ladies

— LERONE MURPHY (@LeroneMurphy) September 2, 2023

Fiorot takes Round 2, 10-9. Her physicality is giving Rose problems, too. It's 20-18 Fiorot going to the last. #UFCParis

Win or lose, that was a remarkable performance from Rose Namajunas. Stepping up a weight class to face an in-form contender, and having to do it basically with one working hand, she's given Manon Fiorot a hell of a fight. #UFCParis

— Simon Head (@simonheadsport) September 2, 2023

Fiorot beats Namajunas via UD.

Fiorot or Blanchfield for next shot? Either works, but I'd lean Blanchfield. And seems clear Rose is better suited for 115. No post-fight interview by Rose, she smiled and clapped while scores were read.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) September 2, 2023

Bro what? Rose pieced her up that whole fight!!

Size and power was a big factor in Fiorot's win.

The strikes seemed pretty even, but Fiorot's shots just stung more and seemed more impactful. Namajunas might want to consider a return to 115 pounds. #UFCParis

Calling for a title shot next!@ManonFiorot_MMA looking for the winner of Grasso vs Shevchenko 2 after that #UFCParis performance pic.twitter.com/GYgdOOfdQn

I find it incredible to see how @ManonFiorot_MMA has grown in the organization, in just over 2 years it is among the best in the world. A curiosity is that she was hired to replace when I broke my arm in 2021! Congratulations! #UfcParis
