Filed under: Featured , News , UFC LAS VEGAS – Nicco Montano went five tough rounds with Roxanne Modafferi to win the inaugural UFC women’s flyweight title. Just as impressive, she fought through a broken bone in her foot. “It’s still broken now, technically,” Montano (4-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) told MMAjunkie backstage after her gutsy decision win over Modaferri (21-14 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in the FS1-televised headliner of The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale at Park Theater in Las Vegas. To deal with the pain, Montano got a cortisone shot one day before the event’s weigh-ins.
