Pedro Munhoz likes idea of rematch tour vs. Jimmie Rivera, Frankie Edgar, and then Aljamain Sterling

Pedro Munhoz enters the first rematch of his MMA career Saturday night, when he looks to avenge a 2015 split-decision upset to Jimmie Rivera in his early UFC days. That, in fact, could end up being the first step of a tour of rematches.

Munhoz lost his last two in the UFC, decisions to 135-pound contender Aljamain Sterling followed by a controversial split call to Frankie Edgar. Eager to share the octagon with Rivera on Feb. 27, Munhoz likes the idea of following it up with second bouts against Edgar and Sterling, who could already be champion at the time after challenging Petr Yan for the UFC belt on March 6.
