WRAP UP:
The Finale was to be Montano vs. Sijara Eubanks however Sijara was in the hospital the night before w/ a miscalculation on her weight cut which led to the UFC doctors not clearing her to fight. Roxanne was given the fight the day of the show. This season featured many up and coming woman flyweights like Lauren Murphy, Modefferi and Gillian Robertson. This was another season that crowned a champion in a brand new weight class. Montano would go on to vacate the title due to not being able to defend her title for such a long amount of time for various reasons. The title would eventually be contested By Valentina Shevchenko and Joanna J. Valentina has been the champion ever since.
