Montserrat Rendon was born on March 16, 1989. She established a notable career in mixed martial arts, particularly distinguished by her strong background in jiu-jitsu. Before her professional MMA journey, Rendon achieved significant recognition as a 12-time jiu-jitsu national champion in Mexico. This extensive grappling background became a foundational element of her fighting style in MMA.

Rendon transitioned into professional mixed martial arts, accumulating an undefeated record in her initial professional fights. Her early career momentum and demonstrated skills led to her signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). She made her highly anticipated UFC debut on September 23, 2023, at UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Gamrot, where she competed against Tamires Vidal. Rendon secured a win in her debut, further solidifying her presence in the bantamweight division.

Her career progression continued with a subsequent fight on March 23, 2024, at UFC Fight Night: Ribas vs. Namajunas, where she faced Daria Zhelezniakova. Rendon’s commitment to the sport is also reflected in her role as a mother, raising her son Matias, and integrating her family life with her demanding professional athletic career. She aims to inspire others, particularly within the Mexican combat sports community, and expressed a clear goal of fighting in Mexico City.
