Pedro Munhoz vs Chris Gutierrez Prediction: Chris Gutierrez will be the headline once more

A fight between Chris Gutierrez (19-4-2 MMA, 7-1-1 UFC) and Pedro Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) has been scheduled for UFC Fight Night on April 16. Chris Gutierrez has been in terrific shape, and he has not lost any of his previous fights. Pedro Munhoz, on the other hand, will be hoping for a better result here so that he can finally put a stop to his string of defeats.

Pedro Munhoz is going to make an effort to maintain his ranking and prevent the hardest stretch of his career from lasting any longer. The 36-year-old fighter has only won one of his last six bouts, despite the fact that all of his defeats have come at the hands of champions who are either still active or have held the title in the past, such as Aljamain Sterling, Jose Aldo, Dominick Cruz, and Edgar. In Pedro Munhoz's most recent fight, which took place at UFC 276 in July, he squared up against Sean O'Malley; however, the bout was ruled a no contest because the Brazilian was unable to continue fighting after O'Malley jabbed him in the eye.

After Chris Gutierrez forced Frankie Edgar into retirement, the next fight he has scheduled is against Pedro Munhoz, which will give him the opportunity to go up even more in the bantamweight rankings. Gutierrez is now in the midst of a winning streak that has now reached eight fights. The 31-year-old has not been defeated in the octagon since his debut fight in November 2018, when he was unsuccessful. His current winning streak features a stunning first-round knockout victory over Edgar, which took place at UFC 281 in November last year. We are now looking forward to a great showing from the American boxer, who has been in peak shape since the beginning of 2019.

The fact that Pedro Munhoz is the underdog in this competition will put added pressure on him to do better than we anticipate from him as he has been in poor shape recently. On the other hand, Chris Gutierrez has been in such solid shape recently that we have reason to assume he will perform admirably here. We anticipate that Chris Gutierrez will win this fight through an early knockout.
