This morning, MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani reported that the UFC is “losing patience”\u00a0<\/a>with women’s flyweight champion Nicco Montano, as negotiations seemed to have slowed with respect to her first title defense.<\/p>\n

Montano has now caught wind of Helwani’s report, and she is not<\/em> happy. Shortly after Helwani’s report, the women’s flyweight champ went off on the veteran reporter, referring to him as a “huge waste of space,” a “douchebag,” and more…<\/p>\n

See the champ’s post below.<\/p>\n

“This just in…. [Ariel Helwani] is a huge waste of space,” Montano said her fiery Instagram post. “Everyone and their grandma knows about my condition. I\u2019m 5days post tonsillectomy and adenoid removal surgery due to a bacterial infection that\u2019s been inhibiting my practice all year. Soonest I can get back on the mats is 16 more days. The UFC not only knows about this but flew me out to Vegas themselves to get this surgery done ASAP so I can jump on getting a fight with Shevchenko lined up. If you\u2019ve been a fan of mine then you know my mind set… no girl is anything I\u2019m not. Who\u2019s scared to fight? It\u2019s what I do, it\u2019s literally why I\u2019m the anomaly here, because I was ranked number 14 on the show and came out number one. It\u2019s apparently in douchebag\u2019s best interest to throw my name out to the wolves in order to stay relevant. I literally haven\u2019t spoken a word in 5 days due to my condition and Mr. Poor Excuse of a Man has not only brought it upon himself to be the leader of idiot fans who don\u2019t know the difference between MMA and UFC but also has the balls the size of a baby rat to say I\u2019m scared while key board warrior over here is more than likely to eat a fat man\u2019s ass than get in the octagon with HIS 125lbs Champ… 🎤 drop. …….. lesson of the day, don\u2019t believe everything you read, idiots run their mouths. Ps, [Ariel Helwani] you suck at your job, I heard the UFC is looking for a better journalist who is actually knowledgeable.”<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more news on Nicco Montano’s working relationship with the UFC \u2014 and with the reporter Ariel Helwani \u2014 as details emerge.<\/p>\n
