Better to be safe than sorry …<\/p>\n

Following UFC Oklahoma City<\/a> tonight (Sat., July 18, 2026) inside Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, promotion officials confirmed to MMAmania.com<\/a> that one fighter was transported to the local hospital for precautionary reasons after sustaining damage in his respective bout.<\/p>\n

The lone fighter transported was Alberto Montes.<\/p>\n

Montes (11-2) was taken to the hospital for a precautionary CT scan of his head, face and nose following his brutal technical knockout loss to Tommy McMillen in the UFC Oklahoma City main card opener (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Promise\u201d had his four-fight win streak snapped in the loss and suffered the first defeat of his UFC career. Prior to UFC Oklahoma City, the 32-year-old shined in his Octagon debut earlier this year when he strangled Ricky Turcios unconscious at UFC 326<\/a> (watch highlights<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, things went very differently against McMillen.<\/p>\n

At this time, Montes\u2019 scan results have not been publicly disclosed.<\/p>\n

It is normal<\/a> for UFC to transport fighters to the hospital for precautionary reasons, especially after fighters are involved in damaging three-round battles, suffer nasty knockouts or sustain injuries that need additional evaluation.<\/p>\n
