Welterweight Title Bout

Every division has that one fighter that lives in the Top 10, yet somehow always seems to fly under the radar.

In the bantamweight division, that guy is Jimmie Rivera.

The 31-year-old veteran is 23-4 overall and 7-3 through 10 trips into the Octagon as he readies to run it back with Pedro Munhoz on the pay-per-view portion of this weekend’s UFC 258 fight card in Las Vegas. He bested Munhoz in Brazil in his sophomore appearance in the UFC, and has fought nothing but ranked opposition since, earning decisive victories over the likes of Thomas Almeida, Urijah Faber, John Dodson, and Cody Stamann.
