Valentina Shevchenko walks back Manon Fiorot’s retirement wager after UFC 315
Valentina Shevchenko picked up a big win over Manon Fiorot at UFC 315 on Saturday in Montreal.
Before the fight, both claimed they would restore the other. Yet, after UFC 315, Valentina Shevchenko urges Manon Fiorot not to follow through with it as she wants her to continue to fight.
“To be very clear, before the fight Manon (suggested) that if she won, I retire,” Shevchenko said. “I responded to her, if I won, she retires. So I completely don’t want her to retire. This is what I really don’t want her to follow her words because I feel it’s unfair for the fighter because someone put [the words] in her mouth to promote the fight or something like that and now she feels she has to retire? No, don’t follow your words, please stay fighting.”
After UFC 315, it’s unclear who Valentina Shevchenko will fight next, but Conor McGregor will surely be watching.
