Flywin Lannister
Superstar
UPDATE:
Nico Montana was transported to the hospital during her weight cut. Subsequently the Championship fight with Valentina Shevchenko was canceled and there was no replacement opponent for Valentina - who of course wants to fight for the belt as intended.
Hours later Dana White communicated that "Nico Montana will vacate the title and that Valentina Shevchenko will fight for the vacant title
It was clear all week that Shevchenko did not believe Montana would show up for the fight, and ultimately she was right. "I knew she would do this from the very beginning”
The new Co-Main Event for UFC 228 will be Jessica Andrade - Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
ORIGINAL POST
The 170 Welterweight and the Women's 125 Flyweight Championships are on the line.
Tyron 'The Chosen One' Woodley, the only black UFC champion, is putting his title on the line against Darren 'The Gorilla' Till.
His last fights (2 vs Thompson, 1 vs Maia) were highly strategic and actually, honestly quite boring BUT
My money's on Woodley, not just because he's a brother - but because he is the ultimate professional and has the experience.
GREAT interview with the champ
In the Co-Main Event we have Nicco Montana vs Valentina 'The Bullet' Shevchenko.
Montana is the BIGGEST Champion Las Vegas underdog of all time
Valentina should've gotten the nod against Nunes, everybody knows this. But now she's at her natural weight and everybody is expecting a serious beating and a one-sided fight. Will Montana shock the world or will Bullet FINALLY get her UFC belt?
NOTABLE OTHER FIGHTS:
Zabit Magomedsharipov - Brandon Davis (stepping in for an injured Yair Rodrigues)
Jessica Andrade - Karolina Kowalkiewicz
Carla Esparza - Tatiana Suarez
Aljamain sterling - Cody Stamann
Jimmie Rivera - John Dodson

- He's the only black UFC champion we got - so we better support him to the muthafukking fullest because there's not 1 black dude in the UFC that's even anywhere near a title shot
- In his interviews and all the previews.. damn.. he looks like the OLD Woodley. He's got that killer mindset back that had him knocking Lawler through the damn Octagon. He's not 'whining' (I'm not talking about the racism stuff because he's totally right) he is just FOCUSED.
