Former flyweight champion Nicco Montano has been pulled from her upcoming fight against Karol Rosa on Feb. 6 at UFC Vegas 18.
Multiple sources confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Tuesday, revealing that Joselyne Edwards will now fill in to face Rosa on short notice. Milenio first reported the change.
According to sources, Montano was actually pulled from the fight by a neurologist as part of her pre-fight medical tests required to compete. The UFC’s first ever flyweight champion suffered injuries from a car accident after she was rear-ended by another driver.
