Let’s take a look at the stats and their fighting style to try to predict who gets his hand raised when everything is said and done.

Cheyanne Buys vs Montserrat Conejo stats

Cheyanne Buys was awarded the UFC contract after her impressive unanimous decision win over Hilarie Rose at Dana White’s Contender Series back in August of 2020. She will look to make a statement as she steps inside the UFC Octagon in what is possibly the biggest fight of her career.

Meanwhile, Montserrat Conejo Ruiz will also make her UFC debut coming off an impressive win at Invicta FC 41. Ruiz is 9-1 in her professional MMA career and will look to make a statement in her debut fight with a win over Cheyanne Buys.

Buys vs Conejo prediction

Not much is known about both the fighters, so it’s a little tough to come to predict the winner here. Both the fighters have fought relatively unknown fighters in their MMA career. Needless to say, they will be put to test as they embark on their UFC journey.

However, the more calculative prediction would be to go with Cheyanne Buys. While Montserrat Conejo has a better resume in terms of fight experience, Buys’ performance at Dana White’s Contender Series stands out. Additionally, Buys was scheduled to fight at UFC Vegas 22, while Montserrat’s inclusion came in the wake of Kay Hansen’s withdrawal from the bout.

Buys is expected to be more ready mentally, and will look to upset Conejo in her UFC debut. If I had to go with a fighter in this one, it would be Cheyanne Buys.
