4 years agoEntering Saturday night as the UFC's ninth-ranked bantamweight, Jimmie Rivera (23-5) was out-struck by the eighth-ranked bantamweight in Pedro Munhoz, leading to Munhoz taking the unanimous decision. Statistically, Rivera landed 65 significant strikes compared to Munhoz's 94 significant strikes. This marked the second time the two have fought, with Rivera getting the better of Munhoz the last tiem they faced each other. From very early on in the contest, Munhoz utilized his leg kicks to perfection, taking away a lot of Rivera's front base to throw his power shots. Rivera is still a dangerous man at bantamweight for his unusual amount of power at that weight class.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
