The UFC continues to mold its roster with eyes on its south-of-the-border debut, as the promotion recently signed Mexican welterweight Augusto Montano to a six-fight contract.
Sherdog.com confirmed the deal with Montano’s management team on Friday. While nothing is official, the Jackson-Wink MMA prospect known as “Dodger” could occupy the Las Vegas-based promotion’s Mexico City card on Nov. 15.

Two other Jackson-Wink-trained fighters from that evening’s card -- Mexico’s Gabriel Benitez and Argentina’s Guido Martin Cannetti -- have been selected to compete on the upcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America.”
Montano is 13-1 as a pro, with his only defeat coming at the hands of Maximum Fighting Championship middleweight title holder Sam Alvey in November 2011. He has finished all of his victories inside the distance.
