Muñoz returns to Manila for UFC Fight Night

Retired UFC middleweight contender Mark “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” Muñoz will return to the Philippines for UFC Fight Night Manila. But rather than wearing a pair of fight gloves, Muñoz will don a suit and tie as the official ambassador for the event scheduled on October 15, 2016 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

Muñoz last stepped inside the Octagon during the inaugural UFC Fight Night Manila in May 2015. In what would be the final fight of his lauded mixed martial arts (MMA) career, “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” used his superior wresting pedigree and dominant ground game to earn a victory in front of the home crowd. Since that evening, he has promised to return to help grow the sport of MMA in the Philippines. Starting this August, Muñoz and the UFC will come back together to initiate a series of grassroots activities.
