“So You Wanna Be a Fighter?”: Bantamweight Star Reveals Horrific Injury During UFC Vegas 74 as “Insane” Health Update Leaves Fans Appalled

UFC Vegas 74 gave the fans many memorable moments. From UFC legend Jim Miller adding another statement win, to his record to the controversial result of the main event, this was a night that fans will not forget for a while. However, another unfortunate event also transpired during the prelims of UFC Vegas 74.

A bantamweight bout between Daniel Santos and Johnny Munoz Jr. had the fans wincing in their seats after a number of low blows. Munoz took two to his groin, one in the first round and one in the third. The latter seemed to have really crippled the 30-year-old, and he looked doubtful about continuing the contest.

However, he was able to tough it out till the final minute and even found some success in the round. Unfortunately, that was not enough to get his hand raised. Santos had dominated to such an extent that he won the fight 29-27 on all scorecards, even after Herb Dean took a point from him.

But the misery did not end there for Munoz.
