Tonight marked the first time that the octagon touched down in the Philippines. It also marked the last time that the man they will forever call ‘The Filipino Wrecking Machine’ stepped foot inside of it to do work.
Ask anyone who has followed the sport of mixed martial arts about who the true “good guys” of the sport are. The first name you’re likely to hear come out of all of their mouths is Mark Munoz. It’s kind of hard to believe that statement when the man holds a nickname like Munoz’s.
The transformation from wrecking machine, like he showed us earlier today against Luke Barnatt, to a humble man who still has a lot to give to the sport outside of the cage can be seen in his retirement speech video below.
