The Daily Telegraph in Australia reports that Montana De La Rosa vs Nadia Kassem has been added to UFC 234 Feb. 9 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. This fight is at Flyweight. Both fighters are former Strawweights. Montana is 23 years old from Arlington, TX. and she is 2-0 in the UFC. Her husband Mark is also a UFC fighter. Before she came to the UFC, she fought as a Strawweight as Montana Stewart. She was on TUF 26 which produced very little talent. Her wins were over Christina Marks and Rachael Ostovich. So she hasn't beaten anyone good yet. That won't happen here either. Nadia is 23 years old from Wentworthville, Australia which is a suburb of Sydney. Her record is 5-0 and she won her UFC debut over Alex Chambers. That fight was at Strawweight but Nadia missed weight. And she looked terrible. So the UFC is having her move up to Flyweight. Her boyfriend Ashkan Mokhtarian is also a UFC fighter and his brother trains them. The UFC needs Aussie fighters for Aussie shows. But the talent level is low. Montana should be favored as she has more experience. But both are low level fighters.
