Can Nicco Montano silence her doubters this weekend?
The post Nicco Montano Was Inspired By Henry Cejudo’s Upset Win At UFC 227 appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Last month (Sat. August 4, 2018) at UFC 227 one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport went down.
Henry Cejudo defeated Demetrious Johnson in the co-main event to become the second-ever UFC flyweight champion. It was a moment that shocked a lot of mixed martial arts (MMA) fans, but also inspired fellow fighters.
UFC women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano explained how she drew inspiration off Cejudo’s big moment (quotes via MMA Fighting):
“Absolutely, as I said, it’s not about labels; it’s about heart and will and sacrifices and I’ve made them all,” Montano said.
“It’s not going to me at the end of the fight to see that we’ve been through a battle and then see what the outcome is.”
“Definitely seeing Cejudo, I was there for that fight up close and personal, and you could just see the pace and you could see how much both of those fighters were willing to put in that cage.
“That was a spectacular fight and Cejudo came out victorious. And he was the underdog, so that’s definitely something that’s in my head now.”
Montano could use some inspiration right about now. She’ll be defending her flyweight title this weekend at the UFC 228 pay-per-view (PPV). Montano will be defending against former women’s bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko.
Many are writing off this fight as a guaranteed win for “The Bullet.” She has shared the Octagon with some of the most fierce competitors in the world, and did more than hold her own.
With victories over the likes of Holly Holm and Julianna Pena under her belt, Shevchenko will certainly be a big test for the 4-2 Montano.

Women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano will finally defend her title for the first time.
Following a highly-publicized back-and-forth with former women’s bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko, multiple sources have confirmed to ESPN’s Ariel Helwani that Montano will meet “Bullet” at September 8’s UFC 228 from American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
Montano has been out of action since she won the title over short-notice replacement Roxanne Modafferi at last December’s The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 26 Finale. She defeated Lauren Murphy, Montana De La Rosa, and Barb Honchak during the show to earn her spot in the championship bout.
Shevchenko famously lost two ultra-close bouts to current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes after beating former champion Holly Holm, prompting a move down to a more natural weight class of 125 pounds for the Muay Thai standout.
She was then scheduled to meet UFC debutee Priscila Cachoeira earlier this year, resulting in one of the more controversial fights of 2018 when a grossly overmatched Cachoeira was viciously beaten by Shevchenko while embattled referee Mario Yamasaki refused to stop the bout.
There is still no main event announced for UFC 228 as of this writing.
