Michelle Montague

Michelle Montague, better known as "The Wild One", holds the #12 spot at women's bantamweight, flying the flag for New Zealand — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.

The game is built on grappling: 3.5 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 6 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.

He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Mayra Bueno Silva, Decision - Unanimous. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
