Pedro Munhoz

When you talk about a fighter who fought the all the stars but can’t get the support of the casual fans you should look no further than Pedro Munhoz. 22k twitter followers. He is booked for the 299 prelims now vs Kyler Phillips.

He just lost to Vera in his last fight who is headlining the card in the title fight vs O’Malley.
Fight before that he beat Gutierrez who headlined last weekend vs Yadong.
Had a NC vs O’Malley before that.
Fought Cruz and Aldo before that.

In the past he fought Edgar, Sterling, Garbrandt, Johns, Dodson, Font, Caraway, Assuncao, etc…

Its just crazy he has fought ten champs and title challengers in his UFC career and has only headlined a single Fight Night and he got robbed in that fight.

Even when he was just 9-0 in MMA and making his UFC debut he was fighting #5 in the world Assuncao.

3 of his 7 UFC loses have been split decisions and all the other ones went to the judges as well.

Never been KOed or submitted despite fighting only the best of the best for a decade in the UFC.

Him and Phil Davis are on that really short list of high level fighters who have never been finished.

I think a long win streak is essential to breaking through. If he’d got the nod against Edgar things may have gone differently. Also got Aljo at a bad time as he was hitting his stride, nearly KOd Cruz but just couldn’t get it done.

Great career nonetheless, I’m always interested when he’s fighting.
