Early career

[edit]

Montaño started training at age 15 in Kung Fu for sport and to know how to respond to the physical aggression and violence embedded in what he grew up in coming from a hard and dangerous neighborhood in Mexico.[3]

Montaño made his professional mixed martial arts debut in November 2008. He won and defended middleweight titles in Xtreme Fighter Society, Xtreme Fighters Latino and Xtreme Kombat several times.[3]

Montaño fought extensively in his native Mexico and amassed a record of 14–1 before joining the Ultimate Fighting Championship.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Montaño made his promotional debut against Chris Heatherly on November 15, 2014 at UFC 180.[5] Montaño won the fight via TKO in the first round.[6]

Montaño faced Cathal Pendred on June 13, 2015 at UFC 188.[7] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.[8] Montaño tested positive for testosterone metabolites in the post-fight drug test and was given a one-year suspension.[9]
