UFC 262 Prelims — Souza vs. Muniz Preview
The UFC 262 Prelims is headlined by a feature fight between two UFC Middleweight fighters, as Ronoldo “Jacaré” Souza and Andre Muniz square off.
Ronoldo “Jacaré” Souza (26-9) is a long time MMA fighter and former champion, but he’s in desperate need of a victory to save the back end of his career. This Brazilian Jui-Jitsu expert has 13 years in the pro fighter ranks and his grappling skills are highly regarded by fighters, fans and experts alike. But Souza last win was in November of 2018, and he is 1-4 in his last five fights. He was knocked out in his last fight by Kevin Holland, a lower ranked contender. Now Souza needs a big win, or he will have to consider if this is the end of the road.
Andre Muniz (20-4) is only in his third UFC fight, but this 31 year old brings plenty of experience with him into this spotlight bout. He started out 16-4 in a variety of smaller and independent promotions before competing as part of Dana White’s Contender Series. Muniz earned wins in both the 2018 and 2019 Contender Series, which launched him into the UFC officially in late 2019. He has 14 wins by stoppage, including a mix of TKOs, armbars and chokes. Only two of Souza’s six UFC losses have come by stoppage, so Muniz will need to work extra hard to earn the opportunity to close out the legend.
