The Rogers Arena was roaring, and all eyes were on hometown favorite Jasmine Jasudavicius. But in less than 90 seconds, Manon Fiorot turned the cheers into stunned silence. With surgical precision, ‘The Beast’ dismantled the Canadian standout in Round 1  and then, to everyone’s surprise, stole the post-fight spotlight with something no one saw coming: an iced-out pink Labubu hanging proudly around her neck.

The French flyweight didn’t just make a statement with her fists; she made a fashion statement, too. Fiorot’s diamond-studded Labubu, a collectible toy turned luxury accessory, lit up social media almost as brightly as her knockout. But before fans could debate her jewelry, the story inside the Octagon had already cemented her as a top contender once again.

Making a statement: Manon Fiorot’s fight and fashion

After tasting defeat for the first time in her UFC career against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 315, Fiorot had a point to prove. She’d spent years building her reputation as one of the division’s most complete strikers, with wins over Erin Blanchfield, Rose Namajunas, and Mayra Bueno Silva. But a loss to ‘The Bullet’ had many wondering if ‘The Beast’ could bounce back.

On Saturday night, she answered that question emphatically. Fiorot came out sharp from the opening bell, establishing her range with crisp jabs that immediately frustrated Jasudavicius. The Canadian tried to pressure forward, but Fiorot’s timing was too clean, her footwork too precise. When the right hand landed flush, Jasudavicius wobbled,  and the Frenchwoman pounced. A flurry of ground-and-pound forced the referee to wave it off at just 1:14 of the first round.

But while Manon Fiorot’s fists did the talking inside the Octagon, it was her neckwear that stole the show afterward. Sporting a pink, jewel-encrusted Labubu pendant, she instantly became a viral sensation. The collectible, part toy, part art piece, has become a symbol of high-end pop culture. And seeing a top-tier MMA fighter wearing one after a brutal TKO was a sight fans couldn’t get enough of!

Fans left in a frenzy over Fiorot’s “iced out Labubu” after massive win at UFC Vancouver

One fan wrote, “Manon Fiorot silences the Canadian crowd with a quick first round finish at #UFCVancouver. ‘The Beast” had Jasudivicius doing bachata before the GnP TKO!” The comment captures what many saw at UFC Vancouver: pure dominance. Manon Fiorot’s timing and power left no room for doubt. Even local fans had to admit, it was a masterclass in controlled aggression.

Another fan cheekily questioned, “WHY DOES MANON FIOROT HAVE AN ICED OUT LABUBU?” This was the night’s biggest mystery. Fiorot’s choice of accessory turned into a meme storm, with fans comparing it to rapper chains and cartoon mascots. Whether it was a fashion statement or just fun flair, it worked — everyone was talking about it.

Some showed their appreciation with, “Manon Fiorot’s labubu is pretty fire though”. Beyond the confusion, there was appreciation. The blend of luxury and personality struck a chord. It reminded fans that even in a brutal sport, fighters can still bring individuality and style to the cage.

One fan posted, “Manon Fiorot’s speech about her post-Shevchenko state was superb. Mentally it was difficult, but she managed to pull herself together, and I think we’re going to see a Manon 2.0.” After all, fans could feel that renewed fire. Gone was the cautious Fiorot who once relied on decision wins; this version was ruthless, efficient, and eager to finish.

Someone else pointed out, “Manon Fiorot got the COLDEST labubu I’ve ever seen.” The word “coldest” summed up everything: her knockout, her demeanor, and the diamond shine around her neck. For many, it was the perfect metaphor for a fighter who just froze out the competition.

And finally, some even questioned her opponent’s reaction with, “Jasmine Jasudavicius complaining about the stoppage after breakdancing for 10 seconds then taking 6 unanswered shots to the face.” A sharp but fair observation. The stoppage was justified; Jasudavicius was clearly hurt. Yet, in the world of MMA, adrenaline can often cloud judgment, and some fighters always want to keep going no matter how hurt they might be.

As such, Manon Fiorot’s night at UFC Vancouver was more than just another win; it was a statement. Inside the Octagon, she looked sharper, faster, and more dangerous than ever. Outside of it, she reminded fans that fighters aren’t just athletes; they’re personalities who bring flair, flavor, and unpredictability to the sport. As fans debated whether her pendant was fashion or flex, one thing was clear: ‘The Beast’ is back and better than before!
