A women’s flyweight bout set for UFC Vegas 103 has been scratched for the card, news that broke shortly before Friday’s official weigh-in.
Montana De La Rosa vs. Luana Carolina had been scheduled to open up the preliminary portion of the event. However, promotion officials confirmed the fight was nixed due to weight management issues on the part of Carolina, following an initial report by Ag.Fight.
In a brief statement provided via their official website, promotion reps stated that “Due to weight management issues, Luana Carolina has been removed from her flyweight bout with Montana De La Rosa. As a result, this bout has been cancelled from this weekend’s event.”
Luana Carolina has missed weight twice during her UFC tenure, first in 2021 ahead of a fight with Poliana Botelho, then again last year, prior to her bout against Julija Stoliarenko. In both cases, the fights moved forward, with Carolina, a.k.a. “Dread,” earning victories in both.
She won’t get that chance this time. Luana Carolina had won her last three fights, while Montana De La Rosa was coming off a win over Andrea “KGB” Lee.
Saturday, March 1’s UFC Vegas 103 card takes place at the Apex in Las Vegas, with flyweights Manel Kape and Asu Almabayev headlining.
