Why is she waiting nearly a year between fights?

quote:

“My health was my main issue,” Montano told reporters on Thursday’s UFC 228 media call. “After I got off the ‘TUF’ show, I had to deal with a number of health issues. After my fight with (Roxanne Modafferi), I was in a boot dealing with a chronic bacterial infection, and that’s when Valentina chose to call me out. Everybody thought I was just hanging out at home when I was literally having a viral infection throughout my entire body hindering me from spending more than two days a week at practice.”

Bit odd to strip her over this but not too shocking given Montano hasnt fought since December.

Montano last UFC fight to being stripped: Dec 1 2017 - Sept 7 2018, 9 months 6 days
McGregor last UFC fight to being stripped (Lightweight Edition): Nov 12 2016 - Apr 7 2018, 1 year 4 months 26 days

Colby's still listed as interim champ on the UFC rankings

Because he is, the article (and Dana's original statement) say he's stripped once the Woodley/Till fight happens. Basically a repeat scenario of Conor's recent stripping where he lost the belt once Khabib's fight started

I look forward to the post fight "X was never really that good" discussion in a few weeks.

I've been making fun of Conor not defending belts since years before his most recent title stripping. At the end of the night either I'm still gonna make fun of him exactly as much for being too much a prick to defend what he wins, or I'm gonna make fun of him harder for having a new thing he won't ever defend

Good news is it seems there are less people currently under the assumption he'll defend if he wins

I wonder if Barao was another USADA victim, within a few years he went from 30 straight wins to getting battered by some no name gift opponent they gave him on a Brazil card.

In a fight he was like 5 pounds overweight for

I know this is getting into some dumb bullshit territory but for me the ufc has lost the intangible hype energy it used to have. I can’t explain it but even as a huge fan of the sport I rarely get excited about cards anymore. None of it feels important or like a once in a lifetime event. I used to be pumped for every monthly ppv. Maybe it’s a me problem and I just haven’t been watching and following enough but I don’t know. It sucks. I’m looking forward to 229 though, no doubt about it. Fight sports will always be awesome.
