New documentary details Nicco Montano’s brutal weight cut before cancelled Valentina Shevchenko fight

Nicco Montano’s UFC career has been filled with a lot of ups and downs, but a new documentary will detail her rise to become the first-ever women’s flyweight champion – and the devastating weight cut that ended her reign before her first title defense.

The documentary, “Warrior Spirit,” debuts at the Las Vegas Premiere Film Festival on Aug. 6th at 6 p.m. local time at Galaxy Theatres in Las Vegas. A new clip has been released to preview the documentary.

Part of the video was originally shown during an episode of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on HBO, which featured a segment on extreme weight-cutting in MMA.
