Las Vegas, NV – UFC middleweight Andre Muniz may not be the loudest on the mic, but when he speaks he doesn’t mince words. He takes on Brendan Allen at UFC Vegas 70 on Saturday night at the UFC APEX.
“Brendan’s a great athlete coming in from a good winning stretch in the promotion, but I’m going to go out there Saturday and just do my job. I feel very prepared, very ready to go, to invade the top of the rankings,” Muniz told reporters on Wednesday through a translator.
Allen had said earlier that Muniz would meet his match against him in the octagon on Saturday when it comes to the grappling department. Muniz welcomed the challenge and hoped his opponent would stay true to his word.
“Not too long ago he actually posed a challenge, a ground challenge, to me. To see who would win on the ground. So I hope he actually stands up to his word and let’s take this to the ground and let’s see who has the best jiu jitsu in the division,” Muniz said.
“I think patience is going to be the primary virtue in this instance because (he’s) a great athlete very well prepared. I think the one that allows the other one to make the first mistake will end up controlling the fight.”
