Regardless of how his opponent comes out, Munhoz said he’ll maintain his usual game plan of forward movement and consistent pressure. All but two of his UFC wins have come by way of a finish, and he says he expects more of the same on March 2. With all the work he has put in while training in Florida the last two years, his confidence is more than understandable.
“I love my job, and that’s the reason that I moved my whole family to South Florida to train full time (at) American Top Team,” Munhoz said.
“UFC knows that every time I fight, you know it’s showtime.”
UFC: How has American Top Team helped you maybe round out your game a little bit?
PM: Oh yeah definitely. Definitely. We also have a lot of coaches there. We have a great stand up coach. Great jujitsu. Great wrestler. You know. So it’s kind of like help you get better well-rounded.
UFC: Now when you’re on the type of run, do you kind of feel like your confidence is growing or is it just each fight, you take in more individually.
PM: Each fight, we take individually (and use) is a different strategy, different gameplan. It doesn’t mean that I’m going to change the way that I fight because I’m aggressive, always moving forward. This is not going to change, but each fight, we try to get training partners copying (my opponents) or they have the same skills, which is important. And that’s pretty much it. It’s each fight. We work in something different than the other ones.
