Alexa Grasso will face Manon Fiorot at Noche UFC 4 on September 12 in Glendale, Arizona, yardbarker.com reported. Grasso, the former UFC flyweight champion, returns after stopping Maycee Barber in March at UFC Seattle. Valentina Shevchenko reclaimed the flyweight title by defeating Zhang Weili at UFC 322, though her return timeline remains uncertain.
Natalia Silva appears positioned for the next title opportunity. Fiorot enters with victories over Erin Blanchfield, Katlyn Chookagian and Jennifer Maia. She challenged Shevchenko for the title at UFC 315 last year and lost by unanimous decision.
Grasso lost the belt to Shevchenko in the third fight of their trilogy. A win over Fiorot would strengthen Grasso's case for another title shot. Noche UFC carries cultural weight for Grasso, who is Mexican and has headlined the event before, yardbarker.com reported.
