Pedro Munhoz continued his rise up the bantamweight ranks with a first-round finish of Rob Font at UFC Fight Night 119 on Saturday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Though he now resides in the United States, Munhoz has fought half of his UFC bouts in his home city, and he likes to make the most of it. He’s only lost once on his home turf.
“It’s great to come back (home) with this great victory,” Munhoz said after the fight, after weathering Font’s early onslaught.
Font came out firing with his punch combinations, backing Munhoz up. Munhoz, however, remained calm, gathered himself and did some good work countering with his low kicks, particularly attacking Font’s lead leg.
