MMA Mania is reporting that a fight has been agreed to between middleweights Ryan Jensen and Mark Munoz for the January 2 UFC 108 card. Some details:
UFC 108 Fight Announcement: Ryan Jensen vs. Mark Munoz
Munoz looked to carry that momentum into his UFC debut against Matt Hamill on March 7, unfortunately "The Hammer" used a brutal head kick to send "The Philippine Wrecking Machine" to his first career loss — and a date with a ringside stretcher.
After shaking the cobwebs out, Munoz returned to UFC 102: Couture vs. Nogueira to outpoint a game Nick Catone to steal the split decision win and hopes to take that momentum into his Jan. 2 affair.
Jensen had a rough start inside the Octagon. After debuting with back-to-back losses to submission specialists Thales Leites and Demian Maia, the Elite Performance fighter went 2-1 outside of the promotion only to return and get submitted by Wilson Gouveia at UFC Fight Night 15.
In what was unquestionably a do-or-die situation, he submitted Steve Steinbeiss via guillotine choke back in September at Fight Night 19 to record his first UFC win.
This is a solid undercard fight but it is clear undercard material. Fights like this where the loser probably is on his way out of the promotion can lead to fireworks. Desperate fighters make for solid fights.
