High output not enough in loss
Munoz lost to Marlon Vera via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC 292 on Saturday in Boston.
ANALYSIS
Munhoz looked on point in the early going, using his leg kicks and pace to seemingly jump out ahead of "Chito" in the eyes of the judges. As he so often does, however, Vera found his footing as the fight wore on, punctuating his victory with a dominant display in round three. "Young Punisher" seems built for three-round fights as someone who can sprint to the finish line, but there just isn't enough variety in his attack to decisively beat the fighters that occupy the top of the division. Munhoz falls to 20-8-0 (2 NC) in professional MMA as a result of the loss.

Rebounds with strong effort
Munhoz defeated Chris Gutierrez via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Munhoz entered with a shocking single victory in his last six fights (1-4, 1NC), so it's not a surprise he found himself a +170 underdog. That said, those four defeats came against Dominick Cruz, Jose Aldo, Aljamain Sterling and Frankie Edgar, back when Edgar had some gas left in the tank. Recent struggles aside, Munhoz has always hit hard, as Gutierrez found out here. He simply outclassed his opponent in what was primarily a boxing match. Pedro's Round 1 knockdown was by far the biggest moment of the fight, and he was never really forced into any compromising situations defensively by Gutierrez. Munhoz's rough stretch has derailed his chances of remaining title relevant at 135 pounds, but this win should help ensure he gets another fight with the company.
