Inaugural UFC women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano was the feel-good story of “The Ultimate Fighter 26.” Now, her community is recognizing her accomplishments. Montano (4-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a Navajo Nation member from the community of Lukachukai, was given a special mention and honorary plaque at the 23rd Navajo Nation Council. “In the midst of all of our challenges, there are always special people who find a way to inspire and uplift us,” said council delegate Tom Chee . “It is an honor to have the UFC champion with us today and it warms our hearts to know that you come from Lukachukai – from the Navajo Nation.” Montano, 29, thanked her supporters and family for the special honor. She also received a gift from council speaker LoRenzo Bates
