Mexican bantamweight Montserrat “Monster” Rendón (6–1) enters fight week ready. She faces Brazil’s Alice “Golden Girl” Pereira (6–1) at UFC Fight Night: Noche UFC. The featured prelim airs Saturday, Sept. 13 at 3:00 PM ET on ESPN+. They’ll fight three five-minute rounds. The card takes place at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, under the Lopes vs. Silva headliner. Rendón Returns to the Octagon on Sept. 13!
Coming Off a Gritty Split Decision Victory
Rendón last competed on March 23, 2024 at UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Gamrot. She edged Tamires Vidal by split decision after three rugged rounds. She showed sharp striking, steady pressure, and smart reads. That win confirmed her rise at Bantamweight. Now she chases momentum and a ranking push with a statement over Pereira.
Pereira Brings Firepower, But Monster Is Ready
Alice Pereira arrives 6–1 with explosive striking. A canceled 2024 bout with Melissa Mullins did not slow her growth. She dropped a decision to Darya Zheleznyakova for her lone loss. Expect fast starts and crisp counters from the Brazilian. Rendón answers with pressure, volume, and clinch work.
For Rendón, this stage means more than a win. She aims to elevate her name, represent Mexico, and move closer to title contention.
