Michelle Montague kept her perfect professional record intact on April 25, 2026, defeating Mayra Bueno Silva by unanimous decision with scores of 30-27, 29-28, and 29-28.
Montague, now 8-0, is a 32-year-old southpaw standing five-foot-nine with a 68-inch reach. She brings a heavy grappling emphasis to her fights, averaging five takedowns per 15 minutes, and the judges sided with her across the board in what the scorecards suggest was a competitive but clear-enough performance on two of three cards.
Bueno Silva, nicknamed "Sheetara," entered the bout ranked seventh in the Women's Bantamweight division and carrying a difficult losing streak. The Brazilian, who fights out of American Top Team, has now dropped five consecutive bouts, pushing her record to 10-7-1. The 34-year-old orthodox striker had shown strong output during her peak years, landing 3.71 significant strikes per minute at 56 percent accuracy, but she has been unable to reverse her recent fortunes.
Why it matters
- Montague's unbeaten record at 8-0 positions her as an emerging name in a Women's Bantamweight division that still has room for new contenders to climb.
- Bueno Silva's five-fight skid puts her ranked standing at serious risk; a seventh-ranked fighter cannot absorb losses at this rate without falling out of the top ten.
- The stylistic contrast was notable — Montague's grappling-heavy approach against a striker in Bueno Silva who averages just 0.51 takedowns per 15 minutes — and the decision outcome suggests Montague was able to impose her game plan.
