However, that’s not the case this weekend. Pedro Munhoz is a UFC veteran and comes inside the Octagon with a penchant for his incredible toughness and resilience. There’s no denying Sean O’Malley is the more proficient striker between the two. Additionally, looking at Munhoz’s last few outings, it’s hard not to predict Sean O’Malley gets the victory.

However, it will be easier said than done. Munhoz is incredibly tough and is a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. While we haven’t seen much of Munhoz on the ground, it won’t be surprising to see him do it this time around.
