Fiorot, a former UAE Warriors titleholder (9-1, 4-0 UFC), is currently pursuing a run at Valentina Shevchenko’s flyweight crown. “The Beast” is riding an impressive nine-bout winning streak, including four Ultimate Fighting Championship victories. In her latest Octagon appearances, she picked up back-to-back decisions after upending Mayra Bueno Silva and Jennifer Maia at UFC Fight Night 195 and UFC on ESPN 33, respectively.
One-time UFC flyweight title contender Chookagian (18-4, 11-4 UFC) also is eyeing a second crack at the champ. The former Cage Fury Fighting Championships two-division titleholder has scored four consecutive triumphs. Recently, she displayed some polished wrestling en route to a unanimous decision victory over Maia at UFC on ESPN 32.
UFC 280 is headlined by the lightweight championship affair between former divisional kingpin Charles Oliveira and Islam Makhachev. In the co-main event, Aljamain Sterling is putting his 135-pound title on the line against T.J. Dillashaw.
