Scouting Summary

Montana De La Rosa is a seasoned flyweight specialist with a heavy emphasis on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and clinch work. While her striking has evolved into a functional tool for setting up her grappling, she remains most dangerous when she can dictate the pace on the ground or against the fence. Her high submission rate makes her a legitimate threat to anyone who cannot match her technicality on the mat.
