Montague, originally from Chino, California, grew up around the sport of boxing and began competing in high school wrestling at the age of 15. The assistant coach, mixed martial arts fighter Manny Tapia, drew Montague's interest into MMA, and Montague soon also began training in Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

He lost his title on August 5, 2011 at Tachi Palace Fights 10 against Ian McCall via third round submission.
Montague faced Taylor McCorriston on May 10, 2012 at Tachi Palace Fights 13. He won via TKO in the first round.
