MMAFighting.com was first to report the change to the flyweight bout, revealing that Andrade was forced to withdraw from the event due to “medical issues.” Chookagian vs. Fiorot was the original booking before “Blonde Fighter” reportedly pulled out due to injury.

UFC Fight Night 209 takes place at Accor Arena in Paris and is headlined by a heavyweight tilt pitting Ciryl Gane against Tai Tuivasa. The card is also expected to include a middleweight showdown between Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori.

A former flyweight title challenger, Chookagian has won her last four Octagon appearances. Most recently, the Team Renzo Gracie product garnered a split-decision triumph against Amanda Ribas at UFC on ESPN 36 on May 14.

France’s Fiorot has won nine consecutive professional bouts since dropping her MMA debut. That run is highlighted by four triumphs in the Octagon, including a decision triumph over former title challenger Jennifer Maia in her last outing at UFC on ESPN 33.
