UFC 265: Johnny Munoz vs. Jamey Simmons: Analysis

Munhoz and Simmons are both at similar stages of their career, therefore both would look to get a victory and kick start their UFC career. However, this fight seems very difficult for Simmons to win, as his opponent seems just too good.

Munhoz lost his last fight, however, he has proven throughout his MMA career how good of a submission artist he is. The only thing that can help Simmons is that Munhoz’s cardio issues come to the forefront, like his last fight. However, even that seems highly unlikely, as this fight could be over even before the first round.
