Tonight (March 3, 2011), Mark Munoz (9-2) will throw leather against C.B. Dollaway (11-2) at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky for the co-main event of UFC on Versus 3.
The winner of this middleweight scrap will move one step closer to a title shot and establish who the better NCAA Division I wrestler-turned-mixed martial artist is.
On Nov. 20, 2011, Munoz had to face his good friend and fellow NCAA Division I standout Aaron Simpson at UFC 123. "The Philippine Wrecking Machine" tells Pro MMA Radio that the experience of fighting a friend will help him take care of business tonight.
"It's kind of different because I've known Aaron for quite some time and C.B. I just know him through Aaron. We're definitely friends, but not on the level as Aaron and I. He's still a friend and we're gonna go out there. I've done it before and I'm gonna do it again. I'm definitely gonna try to win this fight."
Dollaway has found success in many aspects of mixed martial arts (MMA), but he showed he has slick transitions and a nasty guillotine choke when he defeated Joe Doerksen with the submission maneuver in the first round of their bout at UFC 119. Munoz is well aware of the chokes Dollaway has in his arsenal.
"I've definitely seen his choke game. He likes to get front headlocks and he likes to go for guillotines and transition into a power guillotine and a Peruvian necktie. He definitely has a series going on and transitions. My job is to disrupt those transitions and then get to where I'm stronger than he is. That's when I'm gonna force the fight. He definitely has good standup. He utilizes kicks, his straight right, leads with some good jabs. I'm definitely gonna go out there and mix it up with him."
