VANCOUVER — Former flyweight title challenger Manon Fiorot needed just 74 seconds to stop Jasmine Jasudavicius on the main card of UFC Fight Night 262 at Rogers Arena, a blistering KO that instantly reboots her march back toward a championship shot.
Fiorot (13-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) wasted no time, dropping Jasudavicius (14-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) with a clean straight shot before sealing the TKO with follow-up punches. The victory marks her first outing since a May title-fight defeat to Valentina Shevchenko and it looked like a different fighter showed up.
“I made a lot of adjustments in my training camp, my training partners and my coach… it was a perfect scenario for me,” Fiorot said post-fight.

Key to the turnaround: a major camp change. Fiorot relocated from France to Tristar Gym in Montreal, citing the move as a catalyst for sharper preparation and mindset.
“I’m very disappointed every time I lose, but I think I made a good change in my life and training camp. Tonight is the result of a good change.”
Back in the win column in emphatic fashion, Fiorot wants to stay active and let the matchmakers do their work.
“To be honest, I don’t care. I just want to fight as soon as possible. Whoever the UFC chooses for me, I’ll take the fight.”
For Fiorot: A statement rebound that reinforces her status as a top contender clean fundamentals, killer timing, and renewed momentum after the Shevchenko setback.
For Jasudavicius: A five-fight surge comes to an abrupt end; she remains a factor but will need a quick regroup against another ranked name.
Fiorot’s swift, surgical finish plus the Tristar move signals she’s reloaded for another run at UFC gold.
