What to expect from the documentary
MMA fans and documentary enthusiasts can witness the struggles of the first-ever Native American to become a UFC Women's Flyweight Champion. The documentary features a view of the tough efforts it takes to fit within a specific weight bracket, using intense weight-loss techniques.
Such methods can put a halt to the careers of the fittest of athletes. Unfortunately, Montaño also got hospitalized due to such techniques, which ultimately led to her downfall as titleholder back in 2018.
Interestingly, the movie also got entangled in controversies when Nicco Montaño expressed her displeasure towards the documentary makers. She reportedly spoke the following on MMA Fighting's 'Fighter vs. Writer' podcast:
"I hear that it's a great documentary, and it's winning awards and stuff. But just the fact that the documentary talks about Native Americans being exploited and the whole genocide with the government and how UFC fighters are exploited by the UFC. It's just very hypocritical for them to be saying all this because I'm definitely exploited here."
