Bantamweight action has been added to the UFC’s June 4, 2022 Fight Night event.
CES MMA alum Tony Gravely (22-7) is set to face Johnny Munhoz (11-1) at the event, scheduled to take place at the Apex in Las Vegas. Multiple sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the fight to Cageside Press on Tuesday.
For Gavely, the bout will mark his second walk to the octagon in 2022. Back in January, he won a unanimous decision against Saimon Oliveira at UFC 270. The victory improved Gravely’s record in the promotion to 3-2 overall.
Gravely won his way into the UFC on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2019, after twice defending his CES MMA bantamweight championship. He was then given a very tough test right out of the gate against Brett Johns, and though he would stumble there, he bounced back by winning his next two fights.
Munoz will be competing under the UFC banner for third time next month, and looking for his second straight win. Last time out, “Kid Kvenbo” submitted Jamey Simmons. That came last August, making it roughly ten months between fights for Johnny Munoz.
