One of the most interesting and quick submissions from the UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo came from a Pedro Munhoz bout against Rob Font.
The young ace explained that he in no way shape or form meant to injure and was simply surprised:
“Actually, right there, I didn’t imagine that it was locked in from the beginning, and when he rolled and I was on top of him with the guillotine, it wasn’t adjusted to the way I usually have it,” Munhoz said through an interpreter. “And when he tapped, I thought he was trying to get out because it was very fast, and I usually adjust it a little bit more.
“It wasn’t bad intention to hold the guillotine, and right after the fight, I apologized to my opponent. We’re all professionals here, and our intention is never to hurt anyone. And in reality, it was unexpected he tapped so fast.”
Munhoz is a bjj black belt, who preps for his MMA fights under American Top Team.
