It is expected to be announced in the next few days that Mark Munoz will face off against Chael Sonnen for the number one contender status in the middleweight division. This fight is expected to headline the UFC on Fox 2 card on Jan. 28 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
In an interview with csnwashington.com Munoz recalled a “wrestling duo” during his years at Oklahoma State University.
(Chael Sonnen and I) competed in college together. He wrestled at Oregon; I wrestled at Oklahoma State. We end up dueling, which is just a one-team duel, a one-team competition between two schools. So, I end up matching up with him at 184 pounds. We end up going at it and I end up beating him pretty handily. But, in that fight, he tried to submit me in a kneebar and then changed it into a heel hook. Not a legal move in wrestling. He tried doing that to me, and I felt my ankle pop and was like ‘aaaahhh,’ and I knew that he did it so that he could try to come back. I was actually beating him pretty handily and got upset during that match and was just ruthless in that fight afterwards.
