Former UFC women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano was greatly upset by the company’s decision to strip her of the title. In a lengthy Instagram post, the TUF 26 alum also directed her attention to Valentina Shevchenko, whom she called out for being a “lying bully.”
“I had asked for a fight in October knowing this and had some legit people on my side also asking on my behalf, however the matchmaker and whoever else only gave me the September date to choose from. So with no other choice and with the internet backing a lying bully (Valentina), I was forced to accept the date or have the threat to get stripped anyway,” an excerpt from Montano’s post reads.
