He may not have been champ, fought for a belt, or even a real threat to the elite of the middleweight division, but he did have the skill, will & heart of a true mixed martial artist. One of the most genuine guys in the sport. We need more like him in a time where guys like Conor McGregor get all the attention for what they say instead of what they do in the cage. I'll miss you, Mark & I know a lot of other MMA fans will too!
I've seen a few others share this sentiment too, early in his career he was beastly, a top 5 guy, but just didn't evolve, and the new breeds kept coming and climbing the rankings, pushing him further down.
Definitely one of the nicest fighters ever... He has taught several guys with his wrestling Ellenberger, Machida, even Anderson Silva Idk what happened to him after the Machida fight, he got choked out twice in a row... If he wants to retire, he better do it in style, and at least he gets to do it in his ancestral home, The Philippines LABAN PILIPINAS!!! MUNOZ FTW
Mark I love both you and your son trey. He's such a nice kid and is doing wonders in the collegiate wrestling field. That was the best kid out of trebucco hills back in high school. I remember you teaching me the "Thinking" poem by Walter D. Wintle. It helped in my wrestling matches back at benicia high school. Specially cause I'ma rich city(richmond) kid. Thanks champ🎉
***** I think it's a bit of the fact that he wasn't evolving as a fighter quick enough but also because he's in his late 30s and taking so many hits in his career.
Chris Leben was smart. He knew when the fight was lost and saved himself from any more unnecessary damage. That doesn't make him a wimp or a pussy, that makes him wise.
id have to agree bud before that fight he had title asperations and after it went into "depression" wkn like 1 or 2 fights since and now hes just lost hope jn the possibility of winning the title
He deserves more respect from the fans. He's a class act and he was an awesome lhw/mw for a good while, he's just fallen off in the last few years.
Thanks for the fights, Mark! Good luck.

I agree Connor talks but what hasn't he done so far in the cage he's looked great to be honest.
Top 9-10 middleweight for a couple years but not good enough defense for the The Top 6-8 middleweights those years
He was ranked #3 of the division at one point tho
@@johnwall7575 agree and even fought for the number 1 contender spot against Chris Weidman which sadly he didn't win.
Mark Munoz always such a great guy thank you for an exciting career
Thanks for everything Munoz, watched you live when you fought Mousasi, was a great experience.
Only 85 comments? Geez dude deserves more °
"quit on the stool". We should see this more often in the UFC for the fighter's safety. Examples : JDS/CAIN II , Hunt/Miocic, Machida/Rockhold, etc...
l3allinJames says the keyboard warrior with a spongebob avatar... oh the irony. Go watch Nickelodeon, kid.
l3allinJames Just checked your google+, you commented on a runescape video hahahahaha gtfo outta here fucking nerd.
l3allinJames u got fucking rekt m8

True, also he didn't age as well as some other fighters do. Not all men can be Bernard Hopkins or Randy Couture.

This guy peaked real fast in the UFC. Sad to see his career go out like this. Def thought he had a chance to be one of the greats.

You're awesome Mark, you're one of my all tine favorite fighters.
Thank you mark for all the awesome fights you put on for us
Mabuhay ka Idol! Saludo at maraming salamat.
God Bless your new path Mark
Very humble guy, can hold his head high for the rest of his life. I wish him a happy life and time with his family now.
I admire you Mark so much that's why I am doing mma too. I hope more pinoy makes to the ufc.
Thanks for all the entertaining performances... Mark Munoz is a fuckin warrior.
He is the WEC champ already before joining UFC. Man he is my Super Hero!
My favourite Munoz fights:
-Lyoto Machida
-Chris Weidman
-Matt Hammill
Fuck you Harry Watts he loss that three fight
Wish you all the best mark. Goodluck to your upcoming fight
The best thing about this is that he’s my coach
Congrats Munoz to a good career you're a savage man
That Leben fight was tough to watch, Leben really didn't have the fight in him anymore at that point of his career
Mark's sledge hammer puch is still the best
R.I.P. Corey Hill.
He didn't die
R.I.P was a great guy on tuf :(
Hassan Syed he is dead already so stop
I hope him retire with victory.
jeff peake English is not my mother tongue so i'm learning. Don't be grammar nazi
He did win in Manila for his farewell fight
Mabuhay ka mark Muñoz tatak Pinoy
M2 is the ultimate class act fighter....enjoyed his career
He was a great gate keeper
Hope he wins,I'm glad he's retiring.He just hasn't been able to evolve as a fighter..
***** I think it's a bit of the fact that he wasn't evolving as a fighter quick enough but also because he's in his late 30s and taking so many hits in his career.
He retired because He wasn’t able to be with his son and daughter
Marks a great dude but I'll always remember Weidman, Hamil and Machida.
Chris Leben was smart. He knew when the fight was lost and saved himself from any more unnecessary damage. That doesn't make him a wimp or a pussy, that makes him wise.
A great man, solid career, I hope life's treated him well outside the cage.
I’m impressed with this fighter
YESSS TUF BRAZIL 4 FINALE MOVED TO MIAMI YOEL ROMERO VS MACHIDA MAIN EVENT STORY VS SILVA CO MAIN. WHOOOOOOT!!!!!!!! spread the news
weidman pulled a highlander and absorbed his power
My prediction is Mark by Split
Proud Filipino here
One of a kind.
HUMBLE = RESPECT
I would say he should fight in Bellator because he can probably beat the champ there, but he is getting old.
Before Wonderboy we had Mark Muñoz
Pinoy Wrecking Machine
AND MY WHOLE FAMILY IS FILIPINO!
in Phi we call him the Filipino Raging Machine
Mark muñoz = warrior
He quited for a while after the Weidman fight cuz Weidman was so mean with those ground and pound like after he was knocked out
Ah this is my uncle and it’s ACTUALLY TRUE!
Gotta love the keyboard fighters talking shit about a accomplished MMA fighter
He has only landed 3 strikes in his last 3 fights. #RETIRE
BlackSwoldier o he is after this fight which he said in this video ...
Lol 3 really?!?!
And this is literally true trust me guys HES MY LOLO!
Should have used his wrestling more
It’s because he’s my mothers uncle
Filipino representation!
Weidman ruined Munoz
id have to agree bud before that fight he had title asperations and after it went into "depression" wkn like 1 or 2 fights since and now hes just lost hope jn the possibility of winning the title
John Wilson Stole his soul
John Wilson not as bad as Weidman ruining Anderson Silva
John Wilson So did Machida
he wasnt kind and gentle at west coast wrestling camp
i hope he crushes big ears barnatt
