Since joining the UFC in 2020, Alex Munoz has faced a challenging start with two consecutive losses in his first two matches. He suffered defeats to Luis Pena and Nasrat Haqparast, with the former being a split decision loss and the latter a unanimous decision loss. However, it's important to note that Munoz's performances in the contender series were solid, as evidenced by his victory over Nick Newell. Munoz's fortitude and capacity to fend off knockouts and submissions are notable aspects of his fighting style. While he may have experienced setbacks in his recent fights, Munoz has shown the ability to go the distance and leave the final decision in the hands of the judges. It is worth mentioning that earlier in his career, Munoz had a tendency to secure victories in the first round. However, recent bouts have seen him rely more on his technical skills and strategic approach, leading to fights that go to the judges' scorecards.
