Michelle Montague

Overview

Eight pro fights, eight wins, and every UFC win so far has gone the distance. Michelle "The Wild One" Montague is a New Zealand-born southpaw fighting out of American Top Team at women's bantamweight. She sits at 2-0 in the UFC, within an 8-0 professional record across all promotions, and carries a two-fight win streak into her next fight.

Two decisions. Zero finishes. Still unbeaten.

UFC Career

Montague debuted at UFC Fight Night: Ulberg vs Reyes, beating Luana Carolina by unanimous decision over three rounds. Her second UFC fight, at UFC Fight Night: Sterling vs Zalal in April 2026, produced the same result against Mayra Bueno Silva: unanimous decision, full three rounds.

Two fights is a small sample, and it's too early to say what it means. For now, the record reads 2-0 with both wins on the scorecards.

Fighting Style

Michelle Montague is a wrestling-minded fighter who looks to take the fight down far more often than most in the UFC. She gets takedowns at a high clip, but she is also taken down more than most, so her grappling exchanges can swing either way.

On the feet, she lets fewer strikes go than the typical UFC fighter, though her accuracy is about average. She doesn't take much damage overall, yet she is hit more often than most when she does stand and trade.

She rarely hunts for submissions. Both of her UFC wins have come on the scorecards, with no finishes so far, and she heads into her next fight on a two-fight winning streak.
