Former champ Nicco Montano miss weight by 7 pounds ahead of her return.

Let's be real. She beat Lauren Murphy in a tournament to become champ. Lauren Murphy is now the #1 contender in
She's as much of a champ as Esparza.

Esparza defended it right. Montano and de randamie vacated out of fear. Thanks tho

Waste of talent.

Esparza defended it right.

Esparza has 0 successful title defences, just like Montano.

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

I think it's an anxiety issue. This sport is just too tough for Ms. Montana.

Esparza has 0 successful title defences, just like Montano.

Yep. But she tried. She showed up to her fights. Trying and failing means a lot more than not trying.

 

[El Fernas]

Lmao Jesus Nicco.

Dies this cancel the fight?

I think AC's dont have a set limit in rules other than NJ waving fights with a 7lbs difference.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Esparza won a more difficult tournamen

Nope. Montano beat the #1, #2, and #3 seeds to win the tournament. That was far more impressive than Esparza winning a tournament she was supposed to win.

Let's be real. She beat Lauren Murphy in a tournament to become champ. Lauren Murphy is now the #1 contender in the division.

Esparza took her beating to lose her belt like a champ, not even close.

Nope. Montano beat the #1, #2, and #3 seeds to win the tournament. That was far more impressive than Esparza winning a tournament she was supposed to win.

When you put it like that it sounds impressive, but didnt she beat Modafferi for the belt?...at least Esparza beat a now 115lbs great in Namajunas.

She's the Simone Biles of mma.

 

[gluehuffer1776]

wmma lol. these are the top tier athletes that wmma produces

 

[Fossor]

Once again the US trying to starve Native Americans to death.
Props to Nicco for not dancing to their tune!

 

[SuperAlly]

Who is she? What was she champion of?

 

[EndlessCritic]

Yep. But she tried. She showed up to her fights. Trying and failing means a lot more than not trying.

lol at comparing Nicco Montano to Simone Biles. Montano was stripped of the title after being hospitalized during her weight cut to defend against Shevchenko. If you get hospitalized during a weight cut, that means you tried.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

GDR refused to fight Cyborg because she said Cyborg was a drug cheat.

That was part of the multifaceted duck, yes.

 

[El Fernas]

Bellator Card keeps looking better and better LOL.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

Is she purposely doing things to cancel her fights? I've noticed that every fight is either cancelled before the fight or cancelled right before the fight because of missed weight. Is it self sabotaging or a preparation issue?

 

[TheCryingElite]

Nope. Montano beat the #1, #2, and #3 seeds to win the tournament. That was far more impressive than Esparza winning a tournament she was supposed to win.

The top 3 seeds relative to the weak competition that is 125. 115 is far more talent rich. Esparza at least try to defend against the scariest contender in that division at the time. Not sure why you’re comparing those two anyway. If you take away both their championships, Esparza is still the better and more professional fighter.

Who is she? What was she champion of?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Fighter:_A_New_World_Champion

She won TUF 25 and became the inaugural 125lb women's champion. Her title was stripped from her after she was hospitalized in her weight cut to defend against Shevchenko.
