Nicco Montano has broken her silence after getting released from the UFC earlier this week. Montano (4-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was cut from the promotion after missing the bantamweight limit by seven pounds for last Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 28 bout against Wu Yanan, resulting in the fight getting scrapped. That marked the third time Montano had missed weight, prompting the UFC to release her. The 32-year-old former women’s flyweight champion hasn’t competed since dropping a unanimous decision to current title challenger Julianna Pena in July 2019. On Thursday night, Montano took to Instagram to react to the news of her release. “Down but never out… Seems to be the story of my career but for better or for worse I’m in the thicc [sic] of it and MMA is how I started my personal growth and I will never give up on me,” she wrote
