Alexander Munoz

Nobody hands you anything at lightweight. Alexander Munoz has built a 7-2 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.

The game is built on grappling: 3 takedowns per 15 minutes, and opponents spend rounds defending instead of fighting. 1 submission wins say what happens when the defense slips.

Most recent outing: a win over Carl Deaton via decision - unanimous. Business handled.

At 36, the window is what it is — which tends to make every remaining fight more honest, and more dangerous.
