It wasn&#8217;t pretty, but Turcios&#8217; grappling and clinch game seemed to give Montes some problems. That was until Montes blocked a tight anaconda choke early in the second round and immediately put Turcios in trouble. Turcios fought for a moment before limping away and forcing the referee&#8217;s hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Check out the final moments below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Montes, 31, enters his UFC debut with a professional record of 12-1 and seven submissions. Turcios&#8217; strengths were his grappling and pressure, but that wasn&#8217;t enough. Montes ultimately looked as good as advertised and would be a good addition to the 145-pound division heading into the second half of 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Click here for complete UFC 326 results, coverage and highlights.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alberto Montes performed well in his Octagon debut tonight (Saturday, March 7, 2026).
