Women still share the pay-per-view spotlight following the cancellation of a women’s flyweight title fight between champ Nicco Montano and Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 228.

UFC officials today confirmed a women’s strawweight bout between title contenders Jessica Andrade (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) and Karolina Kowalkiewicz (12-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) has been bumped up to the co-main event of Saturday’s event.

Additionally, bantamweights John Dodson (20-9 MMA, 9-4 UFC) and Jimmie Rivera (21-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) will now get their chance to shine on the main card. The two previously had been scheduled for the FX-televised prelims. A welterweight fight between Geoff Neal (9-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Frank Camacho (21-6 MMA, 1-2 UFC) has also been bumped up to FX from the UFC Fight Pass prelims.

UFC 228 takes place at American Airlines Center in Dallas. It’s headlined by a welterweight title fight between champ Tyron Woodley and Darren Till.

Citing health concerns, the UFC today pulled women’s flyweight champ Montano (4-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) from the event, leaving Shevchenko (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) without an opponent. It’s unclear whether Shevchenko will be compensated for the cancelation, a UFC official said.

Andrade and Kowalkiewicz, who’ve both fought unsuccessfully for the women’s strawweight title, vie for the next shot at the belt.
