The bantamweight spotlight shifts to the Apex this Saturday for a high-stakes encounter between Mayra Bueno Silva and the undefeated Michelle Montague. This UFC Fight Night booking serves as a major litmus test for both women as they navigate a wide-open 135-pound division. Check out our Mayra Bueno Silva vs Michelle Montague match prediction.
While one fighter is looking to reclaim her spot as a top contender after a rough patch, the other is out to prove her dominant wrestling can carry her into the rankings. Sheetara enters this bout on a difficult four-fight skid, looking to turn things around after her most recent match ended in a unanimous decision loss to Jacqueline Cavalcanti last November.
Despite her recent struggles, Silva remains a lethal submission specialist with a knack for catching overly aggressive grapplers. She knows that another setback here could move her far away from the title conversation she was part of just a year ago.
Conversely, Michelle “The Wild One” Montague is riding a wave of momentum after a successful debut where she beat Luana Carolina by unanimous decision last September. The Kiwi powerhouse brings a decorated freestyle wrestling background and a physical, grinding style that has overwhelmed every single fighter she has faced so far.Limited Offer. Currently at Stake
