It seems that Nicco Montano will not defend her Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight crown Saturday at UFC 228.

According to an ESPN report, Montano was hospitalized in Dallas prior to Friday’s weigh-ins for undisclosed reasons and has been pulled from the card. It is unclear at the time of this writing if her opponent, Valentina Shevchenko will remain on the bill.

Montano became champion following her victory over Roxanne Modafferi at the conclusion of “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 26 and has yet to defend her title. Shevchenko earned her title shot by submitting Priscila Cachoeira at UFC Fight Night 125.

Sherdog.com will have updates on the situation as it develops.
