Michelle Montague Wins UFC Debut Over Luana Carolina With Dominant Grappling

The ex-PFL and Bellator contender excelled at 135 pounds following a camp at American Top Team.

Overview

  • Montague earned a unanimous decision in Perth to move to 7-0 in her professional career.
  • An early elbow from Carolina opened a cut, yet Montague kept control from top position for much of the first round.
  • Carolina dropped Montague with a right hand in round two before an illegal upkick led to an immediate point deduction.
  • Relentless takedowns and extended control culminated in a late rear-naked choke attempt at the final horn.
  • Making her first appearance at bantamweight after runs in the PFL and Bellator, Montague called 135 pounds “perfect” and prepared alongside Kayla Harrison at American Top Team.
