A key flyweight matchup between Katlyn Chookagian and Manon Fiorot that everyone has been waiting for will probably have to wait a little longer. CANCELLED !
The good news is that this match has now been moved to UFC 280. (RMC Sport first reported ) Our sources have confirmed that the reason for the cancellation is Fiorot's knee injury, which will prevent her from taking on Katlyn as originally scheduled, so their 125-pound clash at UFC 280 will be worth the wait, We hope Manon Fiort a fast and speedy recovery @FIGHT.TV
