Alberto Montes
The Promise
Venezuela
Scores contract with anaconda choke
Montes defeated Carlos Calderon via submission (anaconda choke) at 2:38 of Round 2 at Dana White's Contender Series. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Montes wasn't particularly convincing in a narrow Round 1, as the (-275) betting favorite was taken down twice and came up short by a 19-to-12 margin the significant striking count. He was able to find the choke he attempted in first frame in Round 2, however, forcing the tap and earning a contract. The 30-year-old is the second fighter on the evening who previously hailed under Combate Global to win a contract.
