About Michelle Montague
Unbeaten, with six submissions in her first eight wins
Michelle Montague has had one of the fastest rises in bantamweight's new generation. The New Zealander arrived in the UFC unbeaten and kept that record through her first appearances in the promotion.
Fighting style
Her main strength is grappling. Six of her first eight professional wins came by submission, reflecting a mindset far more focused on finishing than on simply holding positions.
A first big step
Her win over Mayra Bueno Silva was the first big competitive leap of her career and took her straight into the bantamweight rankings. With very few professional fights still, her ceiling will depend largely on how much she can keep developing her striking around an already extremely dangerous ground game.
