But Namajunas was beaten on points to slip to her second consecutive loss.
And her manager Brian Butler revealed the American suffered the brutal hand injury early on in the fight.
Butler posted: “Very first clash of the fight this happened to Rose Namajunas’ hand.
“Mental battle proceeded for the remainder of the round and into round two…
“By the third round Rose was ready for two more… the fight game smh [shaking my head].”
Namajunas stepped up to flyweight for the first time but Fiorot has advised she move straight back down.
She said: “I think she’s lacking a bit of power in this weight class.
“I don’t know what she’s going to do after, if she’s going to stay there or go back, but I don’t think it’s her weight class.”
Fiorot now wants to fight for the flyweight championship and scoffed at facing Erin Blanchfield in a number one contender bout.
She said: “To me, I clearly deserve the title shot.
“I don’t see why I’d fight Erin. But if I have to, and I don’t have a choice, for sure it’s going to be an easy fight for me.”
