UFC 315 results, highlights: Valentina Shevchenko edges past Manon Fiorot to retain flyweight title

Valentina Shevchenko successfully defended her UFC flyweight championship by winning a unanimous decision over Manon Fiorot in the secondary headline fight at UFC 315, held Saturday at Montreal's Bell Centre.
Shevchenko entered the fight as the underdog after reclaiming the belt in a trilogy against Alexa Grasso, while Fiorot sought to become the first French UFC champion following a 7-0 UFC run.
The five-round bout saw Shevchenko start aggressively, blooding Fiorot's nose and landing key strikes, while Fiorot controlled mid-rounds with clinch work and takedowns before a tense final round of exchanged strikes.
All three judges scored the fight 48-47 for Shevchenko, marking her 10th victory in UFC title fights and tying her for second most in women’s UFC history behind Amanda Nunes’s 11 wins.
Shevchenko’s win solidifies her reign as the 125-pound champion and advances her legacy, though her next opponent remains undecided and she refrained from calling out challengers post-fight.
