Munoz lost to Aori Qileng via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a crushing defeat for Munoz that looks even worse when you take into account he strong he looked in the opening frame. Johnny landed 3-of-5 Round 1 takedown attempts, good for 2:56 worth of control time. He had Qileng's back and was doing damage on the mat, but was unable to close the show, allowing his opponent to rebound over the course of the final ten minutes. A member of the UFC roster for a little over three years now, Munoz has been wildly inconsistent, sporting a 2-4 record in his first half dozen bouts with the company. A loser of back-to-back fights, Munoz will probably be fighting for his job his next time out.

Munoz will take on Aori Qileng in a bantamweight matchup at UFC Vegas 80 on October 7, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Munoz has alternated wins and losses since joining the UFC in 2020, and his most recent trip to the Octagon was a unanimous decision defeat to Daniel Santos in June in which he was taken down three times. Takedown defense is often the downfall of Munoz, who sports a sub-par number of just 42 percent. While Qileng is normally known for high-volume striking, he's capable of getting things to the matt as well, as he averages 1.53 takedowns per 15 minutes of fight time.
Can't defend takedown in loss

Munoz lost to Daniel Santos via unanimous decision (27-29, 27-29, 27-29) at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a healthy +185 underdog, Munoz was dominated from bell-to-bell. He was swept on the scorecards, with a Santos point deduction for repeated low blows in Round 3 being the only reason the final scores weren't 30-27 across the board. Munoz spent far too much time on his back, being controlled for 10:47 of the 15-minute bout. It's nearly impossible to win a decision when you spent that much time in a disadvantageous position. Now sporting a 2-3 record in his first five UFC bouts, Munoz is nothing more than roster depth for a company which holds an event nearly every single week.
