Peter Munhoz will have a great challenge on the main card of UFC 235, this Saturday (02), in Las Vegas. The Brazilian will face forces with the former bantamweight champion, cody garbrandt. In case of victory over ‘No Love’, the São Paulo native plans to ask for the opportunity to compete for the division title.

“I'll ask for the belt if I win. But what I believe now, in reality, is that if there is no fight between (Henry) Cejudo and TJ (Dillashaw), the one who deserves more is Marlon (Moraes, number 1 in the rankings). He deserved it. If this fight were in two months, me beating Cody on Saturday would be the second option”, said Pedro.
Garbrandt is going through a bad phase in Ultimate, as he has lost two knockouts to the champion of the category, TJ Dillashaw. Analyzing the fight, Munhoz believes he will face a more mature fighter who exposes himself less.
“Cody is a very emotional athlete, very experienced, strong, and I believe that in the fight against TJ it was something more emotional due to the problem they had. I think that in this fight he will be a little more mature, he will expose himself less, but we believed in my team, in my work and in my skills”, explained the Brazilian.
Munhoz is betting that the fight with Garbrandt will not last three rounds, as he is prepared to win by knockout or submission.
“I believe the fight won't last three rounds, I'm well prepared and I'll look for the knockout or the submission. I believe he will also look for the same, which will be great, and one of the two will open a window, it won't be a fight. It will be an exciting fight, which will lift the public’s spirits (…). I believe the fight will be 80%, 90% on the feet”, concluded ‘The Young Punisher’.
