And for some, it can actually be a bit more stressful or annoying than it can be for others.<\/p>\n<p>A prime example of this would be the UFC&#8217;s first and current women&#8217;s flyweight champion Nicco Montano.<\/p>\n<p>Montano won the title through season 26 of The Ultimate Fighter which introduced the division to the UFC. Starting out as a big underdog in the show&#8217;s beginning as the No. 14 seed, Montano would go on to shock everyone as she won it all.<\/p>\n<p>But her underdog status hadn&#8217;t stopped there despite proving herself as championship caliber. It was expected right after her victory that she would first be defending against a past bantamweight title challenger in Valentina Shevchenko.<\/p>\n<p>Despite going into her title fight with an already bad foot injury, it only worsened throughout her five-round victory which would sideline her for several months. During this time, she would also receive constant berating from fans on social media about how Shevchenko was going to &#8216;destroy&#8217; her and things alike.<\/p>\n<p>As a proud Najavo native, Montano insists it&#8217;s nothing new for her as she told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/2778848-nicco-montao-ufcs-first-native-champ-has-a-story-you-need-to-hear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BleacherReport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;So much of what I represent metaphorically and physically is about being the underdog and coming out on top. It&#8217;s having those obstacles to overcome with everyone thinking &#8216;she&#8217;s going to lose.&#8217; Then changing everybody&#8217;s minds and changing beliefs. A lot of indigenous peoples have seen that and felt it firsthand.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When I got the belt, I wanted to be shining a light on my native culture. Like, this is truly my motivation and truly where my mind is. When I fight, it&#8217;s so I can have a voice for them.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Going back to the annoying or stressful parts of being a champion, Montano gets it in more ways than just being treated as the underdog.<\/p>\n<p>With the spotlight now on her and as she tries to represent her people, stereotypes will always follow. Which she does her best to correct when given the chance.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;They think we live in buckskin and teepees. It&#8217;s 2018 and there are still people who ask that question.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>They (Justin Gaethje and the other coaches on TUF) literally wanted me to put on a costume. They literally wanted to see me coming out with war paint on my face. They think &#8216;Native&#8217; and they think these things. I don&#8217;t want to be the token Native. I don&#8217;t want to be blasted on posters with a headdress on and with buckskin and a loincloth.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>Montano continued on about the topic when speaking at the UFC 228 media day today (via <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kNFBLfPTFOU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting<\/a>).\u00a0<\/em><em>&#8220;Navajos don&#8217;t wear headdresses, A&#8230; B, let&#8217;s not push me into becoming a stereotype, you know?
