DWCS 74 video: Alberto Montes locks anaconda choke to end entertaining battle vs. Carlos Calderon

If Dana White’s Contender Series 74 gave out Fight of the Night bonuses, Alberto Montes and Chris Calderon would be walking home richer.

But for the victor Montes (10-3), a UFC contract could be coming his way. On Tuesday, he ended an entertaining back-and-forth battle with an anaconda choke at 2:38 of Round 2.

The fight had a little bit of everything from offensive-minded striking exchanges, tide-turning submission scrambles, and momentum shifts aplenty.

Ultimately it was Goat Shed’s Montes who proved to be the better fighter this time around. He outlasted the short-notice replacement Calderon who visibly faded early in Round 2.

Venezuela’s Montes has now won three fights in a row.

California’s Calderon has a two-fight winning streak snapped.
