Benouaich vs Montenegro · UFC Fight Night: Hooker vs. Parnasse
Predictions summary
What happened
The result, the defining moments, and what the verdict means.
Benouaich worked left hooks to body and head, uppercuts inside and three-to-five-punch bursts; Montenegro answered on front kicks, body kicks and a left hook.
Midway through round two it staggered and dropped Montenegro, and Benouaich climbed to full mount and opened her up with elbows and ground-and-pound.
Montenegro turned from the shots, Benouaich took the back, locked the choke and squeezed until she went out.

Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in
Case for Benouaich
Benouaich is 7-2 and fights at home in Paris. She makes her UFC debut here, so the promotion lists no striking or grappling statistics and no reach measurement for her — the case is the record and the crowd, and nothing the numbers can add.
Case for Montenegro
Montenegro is 6-2 and already has Octagon time: a 15:00 average fight time, among the longest on the card, with a 1.00 knockdown average and 100% takedown defence. She lands 4.27 significant strikes a minute, and Benouaich has no recorded answer to compare against.
What We Were Watching For
- Benouaich debuts in the UFC, so this is a comparison with one side of the statistics missing.
- Montenegro averages 15:00 a fight — she has gone the full three rounds and is used to it.
- Montenegro absorbs 5.67 significant strikes a minute behind 49% defence, the softer half of her profile.
- Knockdown average 1.00 for Montenegro; her 64 of 160 landed is 40% accuracy.
