Michelle Montague favored over Mayra Bueno Silva lean UFC Fight Night: Sterling vs Zalal · April 19, 2026
grapplinggood

Picked to win and continue her streak, with the analyst favoring her grappling as the deciding factor.

Her striking exists mainly as a setup tool for taking things to the ground, since she's a grappler through and through. She's persistent about chasing takedowns and doesn't abandon the pursuit, and once the fight is on the ground her transitions are smooth; reaching the back, which is where she's aiming to end up, gives her excellent control and a clear path to hunting the rear-naked choke. She's considered the superior grappler in this particular pairing, especially given the point her opponent is currently at in her career.
