Jessica Andrade Replaces Katlyn Chookagian, Meets Manon Fiorot at UFC Paris

Former UFC strawweight champion Jessica Andrade will step in for the injured Katlyn Chookagian and face Manon Fiorot in a flyweight contest at UFC Paris.

The promotion recently revealed the new booking on its event page. According to MMAjunkie.com, the bout has not been finalized, but verbal agreements are in place. UFC Paris takes place at Accor Arena and is headlined by a heavyweight duel pitting Ciryl Gane against Tai Tuivasa.

Andrade is 3-1 in the UFC since moving to 125 pounds. Most recently, the “Bate Estaca” dispatched Amanda Lemos with a standing arm-triangle choke in the UFC Fight Night 205 main event on April 23. She’s also secured first-round stoppages of Cynthia Calvillo and Chookagian at 125 pounds.

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.
