Latest Mark Munoz Stories

Kendall Grove and Mark Munoz have agreed to meet in a middleweight contest at UFC 112 targeted for April 10 in Abu Dhabi, according to both fighters' Twitter accounts.

Overcoming a nasty head kick knockout loss in his UFC debut last March to Matt Hamill, Munoz (7-1) has won two fights since moving down to middleweight. Grove (13-6) avoided a release in November when he submitted Jake Rosholt with a first-round triangle choke at UFC 106.

UFC 112 could feature a triple main event of Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort, BJ Penn vs. Frank Edgar and Matt Hughes vs. Renzo Gracie.

LAS VEGAS -- After beginning his career as a light heavyweight, it's safe to say that Mark Munoz is starting to feel very comfortable at 185 pounds. "The Phillipine Wrecking Machine" won his second straight fight at middleweight on Saturday night, defeating Ryan Jensen via submission due to punches at UFC 108.

MMA Fighting spoke to Munoz about improving his game since dropping weight classes and training with the world famous Team Black House. Check out the interview below.

The best mixed martial artists are the ones who are constantly developing new skills, and Matt Hamill showed that off in a big way in his last fight: Hamill, primarily known as a wrestler before, knocked out Mark Munoz with a devastating kick to the head in their fight at UFC 96 in March.

Now Hamill is preparing for a fight with Brandon Vera at UFC 102 in August, and he says Vera had better be ready for another new weapon. Video below.

When Matt Hamill first appeared on The Ultimate Fighter, he was an aspiring mixed martial artist whose method of fighting was fairly simple and fairly boring: He was a big, strong college wrestler who beat his opponents by holding them down and overpowering them.

But Hamill, who now has eight UFC fights under his belt, showed at UFC 96 on Saturday night that he has evolved in MMA to the point where no one would call his fighting style "simple" or "boring."

This is the FanHouse UFC 96 live blog, where we'll have play-by-play on the three big undercard fights: Gray Maynard vs. Jim Miller, Matt Brown vs. Pete Sell and Matt Hamill vs. Mark Munoz.
