Valentina Shevchenko vanquished Manon Fiorot at UFC 315, but she has no intention of being the one responsible for Fiorot hanging up the gloves.

That stipulation was part of the pre-fight talk for Saturday’s co-main event, which saw Shevchenko win a back-and-forth contest against Fiorot to successfully retain her flyweight title. Fiorot, 35, proposed that Shevchenko retire if she defeated her, with Shevchenko responding that Fiorot should follow through with the same stakes should she lose.
