After weighing seven pounds over the limit for her most recently scheduled fight, Nicco Montano was removed from UFC Vegas 33, which was the fifth time in a row she’s been booked and yet unable to compete.
While a disastrous weight cut stopped Montano from competing this past weekend, she’s also suffered through injuries, a car accident, COVID-19 related cancellations as well as travel restrictions that prevented her from making it to a fight.
Of course, weight issues cost Montano her UFC flyweight title in 2017 after she was crowned as the first ever women’s champion at 125 pounds only to be stripped of the belt 10 months later.
