Routed by Tim Elliott
Altamirano lost to Tim Elliott via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Anyone stepping into the Octagon against Elliott is well aware they will be facing an opponent who is an excellent wrestler with elite cardio. Altamirano was unable to handle the pressure. He did the best he could to try to remain active off of his back in hopes of limiting Elliott's space from top position, but it's difficult to win a 15-minute decision when your opponent is credited with 11:13 worth of control time. A product of Dana White's Contender Series, the 32-year-old Texan falls to 2-2 over the course of his first four fights with the UFC.

ANALYSIS

Picks up win in native Texas
Altamirano defeated Vinicius Salvador via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 43 on Saturday in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Clearly sensing a potential hole in his opponent's defense, Altamirano fired off a whopping 22 takedown attempts. Only three of them landed, but that was enough to score more than two minutes worth of control time in each of the first (2:28) and final (2:03) rounds and win him the fight. Originally a product of Dana White's Contender Series, like his opponent in this one, Altamirano has now won back-to-back fights on the heels of a split decision defeat to Carlos Hernandez in his official UFC debut back in February 2022.
