Nine fights have been confirmed for the UFC’s return to Dallas - one of which is a women’s flyweight title fight between current champion, Nicco Montano, and former bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko. The fight was first reported by ESPN’s Ariel Helwani.
Montano (4-2) hasn’t fought since defeating Roxanne Modafferi by unanimous decision to win the inaugural flyweight title in December 2017. Shevchenko (15-3) has been campaigning for a fight against Montano since defeating Priscila Cachoeira in February, but a bacterial infection that required surgery has delayed Montano from competing.
