Luana's experience wasn't enough against Montague

A striking specialist, Luana landed clean punches to her opponent's face. Montague, meanwhile, pressured her opponent, seeking to grapple. Alert, Luana moved constantly and continued to hit the New Zealander with jabs. Undaunted, Montague managed to lock on to the Brazilian and landed a beautiful takedown. On the ground, Montague unleashed powerful punches on Luana. Even from the bottom, the Brazilian was active and sought an armbar, but her opponent defended and ended the round on top.

At the start of the second round, Luana rocked her opponent with a straight punch. However, Montague then took the Brazilian down. From below, Luana, defending herself, performed an illegal kick, hitting the New Zealander squarely in the face. The referee therefore penalized the Brazilian with a point loss. Standing, Luana continued to attack more effectively. Calmly, Montague took her opponent down again, punished her on the ground, and nearly finished her.

In the third round, Luana again rocked her opponent with a flurry of punches, but she failed to capitalize on the momentum. Recovering from the shock, Montague easily took the Brazilian down and punished her with punches and elbows. Calm in the octagon, the New Zealander delivered a dramatic takedown and continued her punishing session until the end of the fight.
