It’s been a while since Nicco Montano has been inside the Octagon, but she is hoping that changes in the coming months.
The former UFC women’s flyweight champion on Wednesday released a statement regarding her six-month USADA suspension for ostarine, which was one of several announced cases that resulted from a contaminated supplement. Montano’s six-month sanction began on Nov. 15, so she will be eligible to return to active competition in May.
“First and foremost, I would like to thank my friends, family, and all of my fans for their continued support during this difficult period in my life,” Montano wrote on Instagram.
