\nAs we reported last week<\/a>, on March 7, in his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)<\/b> debut, the \u201cFilipino Wrecking Machine\u201d Mark Mu\u00f1oz<\/b>, encountered his first loss as he faced veteran Matt Hamill in Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, before 17,033 mixed martial arts (MMA) enthusiasts.\n<\/p>\n

\nAlthough upset with the loss, Mu\u00f1oz<\/b> acknowledges Hamill\u2019s fight and congratulated him on the win.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

If Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s resiliency and determination shown as a college wrestler can foretell the future, it is guaranteed that his MMA skills will sharpen as his career continues in the UFC.\u00a0 In an interview a week after his fight Mu\u00f1oz<\/b> said, \u201cI’m definitely going to be a better fighter. I am
\ngoing to be 110 percent better.\u201d <\/p>\n

With 5 wins and 1 loss, Mu\u00f1oz is committed to learning from this
\nexperience, to returning to the Octagon with renewed vigor, and to earning his sixth win.\n<\/p>\n

\nI want to know how his wife deals with his fights. That definitely has to be upsetting to watch. More to come on Mark Munoz.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
