There is going to be some competition for the bonus to fight-night at UFC on versus 2. Tuesday, we told you about John Howard and his Honda Accord 1994. Wednesday, is Mark Munoz and his Honda Accord 1992. It shows two things, Honda, last and the crew of contenders on this tab is still climbing the ladder of riches.
Munoz, a former all-American wrestler to Oklahoma State, was having trouble to support his wife and four children.That is, while he was wrestling coach at UC Davis. so he decided to enter prize fight and mixed martial arts.
Munoz "there were times where I couldn't even provide for my family," said the Orange County Register."Accumulated much debt. self reclaimed. The House foreclosed. "
Munoz (8-1) seems to be on the road right now as he prepares to face Yushin Okami (UFC 24-5, 8-2). He is entering its fifth fight in UFC and has its own gym, Reign in Lake Forest, California. But continue to lean to his ways, he still has that old Honda.
He trains a lot also with Blackhouse MMA, the famous southern California gym that hosts Anderson Silva, Junior Dos Santos, Lyoto Machida and brothers Nogueira.Munoz has served as a stand-in for Chael Sonnen as Silva preps to defend his title this weekend at 117 UFC.Silva has also a victory on Okami on his ledger. Munoz said by examiner.com:
"Anderson actually told me that after fighting with me, and after fighting Yushin Okami, has nothing to me.He knows what he Okami, so we've worked really hard to understand how he moves and how to counter. He had a lot of great stuff that he is showing me. "
Okami was once considered one of the top five in UFC middleweights. He is a fighter and ground pound solid but its takedown defense was a big problem fighting against Sonnen makes two. That seems to play directly in the hands of Munoz. Okami showed a game more dangerous standup in his last fight against Lucio Linhares.
