Valentina should get her show-up money and win bonus. This is the second time this shit has happened to her in the last 2 years.
 
Give her the belt already. Stop wasting everyone's time.
 
if you've been watching the UFC promos leading up to this, you may have noticed that Nicco does not employ any dietician or nutritionalist and is training at a gym that appears to be a large open forum for KOTC participants. granted, we're just seeing a sliver of her life, but it does appear that her efforts to prepare are beneath that of most UFC champions and title challengers. and i think she is very cute. she probably should avoid fighting Valentina as long as possible. Bullet is fairly guaranteed to crush her.
 
I know Val was expecting something to happen and the match to be called off. I can only imagine how devastating it must be to have that door shut for the 2nd time just as she prepared to enter. She is a true warrior and I have no doubt she will just push on but moments like these have to be tasking.

It's part of the fight game unfortunately but this shit has to sting!

I dont think it's devastating.
Devastating is fact Shevchenko is 18/18 and Curran was 20/20 just before they cut her <36>
 
The goal for Nicco is not fighting, and using the issue of going to the hospital as a safeguard.

I don’t see her getting stripped as she is the first Native American champion.
 
Why didn't she weigh in, miss weight and get stripped? What stops a fighter from being a coward and pretending they cant make weight?
I call bullshit.
 
They should bump Rivera/Dodson to the main-card & Andrsde/KK to the co-main.

Till vs Woodley
Andrade vs Kowalkiewicz
Rivera vs Dodson
Zabit vs Davis
Price vs Al Hassan

Not the worst ppv ever but I'm not buying it. Better than the original line-up if they go with this line-up
 
Nicco Montano was transported to hospital due to health concerns surrounding her weight cut and will be unable to compete this weekend. According to a statement given to MMAFighting.com, her team said the concern was due to kidney issues.

Montano screwing Valentina around is costing her hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's disgusting.

I'm probably the only one pissed that this fight was cancelled. I was looking forward to Shevchenko fighting. One of the few female fighters with a ton of skill and athleticism.

So she fucked around and didn't get to within a reasonable weight during her camp, then went overboard on dehydration to the point of causing kidney issues trying to make weight. Bottom line...a lack of competence/professionalism/preparedness caused this, not some random health issue that afflicted her beyond reasonable control. It's bullshit when fighters do this.
 
Y'all are so biased. Why should she be stripped?

If she doesn't make it bext fight then yeah strip her but you don't strip fighters on their first no show..was max stripped?
