Press conference: Fiorot
Manon Fiorot talked about what she expects from the fight, analyzing her opponent: "Obviously, I've deserved the title shot twice, but that's how life goes. Sometimes there are injuries and other things. That's just the way it is. So, of course, I believe the next fight will be for the title, and I know they have to do the trilogy (first), so I'll wait without any problems. The next one is for the title. For an (interim) title, yes, I'm open to it if it's that kind of fight, but not just a normal fight. I think it will be a contrast of two different fighting styles. I know what she's going to do: stay close to me, try to get me to the ground. I'm prepared and ready. I'm not afraid and I know I can handle both situations".
Press conference: Blanchfield
Erin Blanchifeld spoke before the fight about other times she's been in the octagon and about Barber: "I was ready to fight her, but she pulled out. I think I heard Manon say that [Barber] didn't want to fight her either. They should have faced each other and [Barber] said no. It speaks volumes for someone who's afraid of fighting top-level people. I don't care much about her opinion. If you're too scared to fight people at that level, people who are at the top of their game, you shouldn't be talking. Katlyn is a top-level fighter, but she took a year off and went through a lot. Katlyn is a top-level fighter, but she took a year off and went through a lot. She's a bit pathetic the way she talks to someone who isn't willing to fight high-level people who are really at the top of their game. I think they even pay her for it. It's more or less like this: why not? Put yourself in that space to have that opportunity. I mean, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but you're giving yourself the best chance".
