The PFL's Flyweight Revolution: A New Chapter Unveiled
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is making waves in the world of women's mixed martial arts, and their latest signing has sparked excitement among fans. Get ready for a thrilling journey as we delve into the story of Montana De La Rosa's transition from the UFC to the PFL.
But here's where it gets controversial... While De La Rosa's UFC record might not scream 'champion', her journey is far from ordinary. With a 6-5-1 record, she left the UFC on a high note, defeating Andrea Lee in a split decision. And this is the part most people miss: her story is a testament to resilience and growth.
Montana De La Rosa, a 12-time UFC veteran, has signed an exclusive multi-fight deal with the PFL. This move comes hot on the heels of the PFL's previous signings of Viviane Araujo and Ariane Lipski da Silva, further strengthening their flyweight division. Sherdog.com confirmed the news, citing a source close to the situation, which was initially reported by MMAjunkie.com. The terms of the contract and De La Rosa's debut date remain undisclosed, leaving fans eager for more details.
De La Rosa's UFC journey was a mixed bag. She started strong, winning four of her first five Octagon appearances between 2017 and 2020. However, her momentum slowed, and she went 2-4-1 in her later fights. Despite this, her final UFC fight, a win over Andrea Lee, showcased her determination and skill.
The 30-year-old Montana native has been away from the cage since then. A proposed fight against Luana Carolina in March didn't materialize due to Carolina's withdrawal, citing weight cut issues. But now, De La Rosa is back and ready to make her mark in the PFL.
So, what does this mean for the PFL's flyweight division? With the addition of De La Rosa, the promotion continues to build an impressive roster. But will she be able to replicate her early UFC success? Only time will tell.
