Drops another decision
Munhoz lost to Kyler Phillips via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 299 on Saturday in Miami.
ANALYSIS
No fighter on the UFC roster is more durable than Munhoz, who at age 37, has yet to be stopped in more than 30 professional fights. But just because he's seeing the final bell doesn't mean he's winning. In fact, Pedro has been dropping decisions like nobody's business of late. He's too tough for his own good during striking exchanges, and he's simply unable to keep up with the speed and athleticism of younger opponents such as Phillips. Munhoz is 2-6 (1NC) in his last nine fights dating back to June 2019. Time is running out for "The Young Punisher."

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.
