One of the most decorated collegiate wrestlers competing in mixed martial arts, Mark Munoz won Big 12 titles along with back-to-back All-American honors wrestling for Oklahoma State University. He made his professional MMA debut in 2007, quickly assembling five straight victories prior to joining the UFC in 2009. Munoz then received a rude welcome into the world's top promotion, as Matt Hamill knocked him out in the first round.
Following the loss to Hamill, and a serious upgrade to his striking game, Munoz bounced back with victories over Nick Catone, Ryan Jensen, and an impressive comeback win over Kendall Grove, proving that he does indeed belong with the best in the middleweight division.
