UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs Sakai saw a statement performance by Andre Muniz, who scored an armbar finish. The grizzly Middleweight scalped a win over Bartosz Fabinski in a fight that was formerly placed on the preliminary card. The finish came in under three minutes of the very first round of their scheduled contest at the Apex Facility via ESPN MMA.

The 185-pound fight is yet another bout that saw a change to its positioning on the fight card. Two fights saw last-minute cancelations as COVID-19 positive results came in for Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Thiago Moises. Additionally, ‘Boom’ Brian Kelleher also had a short notice change to his opponent and faced Ray Rodriguez.

UFC Middleweight’s: Andre Muniz vs Bartosz Fabinski

The fight was on its way to completion before it really even started. Chiefly, Muniz’s famed ground game was a largely discussed narrative heading into his fight with the Polish fighter. What’s more, he now extends his winning streak to six after impressing the UFC’s boss Dana White at the Contenders Series.

Fabinski has now lost two out of his last three outings and will have to reassess his game plan going forward. Chiefly, ‘The Butcher’ did not capitalize on top position and failed to see through the trap that was laid out. The Brazilian fighter in Andre snagged the position and applied significant torque to bring about the finish.

The Middleweight division is currently stacked with exciting fights that offer promising contenders for the future. Furthermore, Andre Muniz has significant experience fighting at a high level before entering the UFC. ‘Sergipano’ has fought in several notable promotions and truly believes he is ready with the task of facing top UFC Middleweights.

However, the prospect has not been as active as his contemporaries who are vying for entry into the top 15. With the divisional title on the line at UFC 253 later this month, every show will go a long way to provide exposure to fighters. Chiefly, fight fans have been on the lookout for challengers who offer a challenge to the reigning 185-pound king in Adesanya.
