Petr Yan has Pedro Munhoz ’s attention, but not for a fight in the near future. Munhoz (18-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) scored the biggest victory of his career on Saturday when he scored a first-round TKO of former UFC champ Cody Garbrandt (11-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in a thrilling bantamweight matchup at UFC 235, which took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Brazilian received “Fight of the Night” honors for the memorable encounter, and after beating Garbrandt, Munhoz said he’s looking for a championship fight at 135 pounds.
