When asked what his strategy was coming in against Okami, Munoz replied succinctly, “I’m going to take him down and pound him out”. Anderson Silva agrees.
“Anderson actually told me that after sparring with me, and after fighting Okami, Yushin has nothing for me. He knows what Okami has, so we’ve been working really hard to understand how he moves and how to counter back. He’s got a lot of great stuff that he’s showing me.”

“I’ve been working on my ground and pound quite a lot and working on my striking too, and I’m just looking to improve every time I step into the Octagon,” Munoz said. “I’ve been training really hard and I’m looking to win this fight and win it in convincing fashion.”
