The first finalist in the quest to crown the new UFC women's flyweight champion is now set following the latest episode of The Ultimate Fighter: A New World Champion.
Team Alvarez fighter and No. 2 seed Barb Honchak faced off with unlikely contender and No. 14 seed Nicco Montano, who has quickly become the most talked about competitor in this tournament following wins over No. 3 seed Lauren Murphy and No. 6 seed Montana Stewart.
Montano didn't seem to be on anybody's radar when this season started, but she's no longer the dark horse considering her performances thus far.
