Video: Relive the UFC Oklahoma City grudge match between Tommy McMillen, Alberto Montes

Tommy McMillen vs. Alberto Montes didn’t win Fight of the Night, but that doesn’t mean their bout didn’t deserve extra notoriety.

At UFC Fight Night 281, McMillen (11-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) and Montes (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) engaged in a nasty (both physically and emotionally) battle at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. When the dust settled and the final middle finger was flipped, McMillen was the one with his arms about his head – a third-round TKO stoppage.

After what started out as a back-and-forth battle, McMillen eventually shifted the tides in his favor as repeatedly crashed his fist directly into the fading Montes’ face. Montes hung tough for as long as he could, but the body couldn’t handle the punishment despite the mind’s efforts.

Shortly after the fight, the UFC released a condensed version of the full fight. Check out the video above.
