Manon Fiorot is a genuine force at flyweight. She is a powerful kickboxer with excellent distance management and looks just as comfortable working from range as she does when the fight turns into a brawl. Alexa Grasso is a former champion with a well-rounded game and sharp boxing. That pedigree matters. Even so Fiorot’s physicality stands out as one of the biggest edges in this matchup. For her frame she is a large flyweight and uses that size well. She will be the stronger fighter and that strength should show up in the clinch and also help stuff takedowns. If the fight hits the mat Grasso likely holds the grappling edge but I don't believe she'll find success getting her down. Fiorot should defend the entries and punish her with damaging shots on the way in. Grasso has shown she can trade even when she's giving up power and her toughness is real. Close output in a round would still leave Fiorot still landing the heavier and more impactful shots. Those moments can swing a judge if a round is tight, especially if Fiorot is walking Grasso down and controlling the pace. Alexa overall remains extremely durable. Across a long career she has been finished only once and that came by submission against Tatiana Suarez in 2018. She has never been knocked out and that history points to her lasting the distance here. Give me Manon Fiorot to control the striking and take a clear decision.
