Munoz vs Dollaway for Versus

Mark Munoz will try to keep his streak against former Arizona State All-Americans alive with his next fight. He will take on C.B. Dollaway in a middleweight bout on an as of yet unannounced card for March, set to be the first UFC on Versus for 2011.

The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the match-up, with verbal agreements in place from both competitors. No contracts have been issued at this point.

The show rumored for early March has been set as the first UFC on Versus card in the New Year, but a date and venue have not been determined as of now.

Picking up a win over Aaron Simpson at UFC 123, Munoz (9-2) was admittedly conflicted with facing a person he was very good friends with. Munoz came out on top in an exciting fight, and now he’s going to try to go two for two against the camp from Arizona.

Coming in on a three-fight winning streak, looking to derail Munoz, is former “Ultimate Fighter” finalist C.B. Dollaway, another former All-American wrestler from Arizona State who still trains with Aaron Simpson after being coached by him in college.

Dollaway has gotten better with each performance he’s had over the last year, including picking up a bonus check for “Submission of the Night” at UFC 119 with a win over Joe Doerksen.

The middleweight fight is expected to be one of the main televised fights for the proposed March card. MMAWeekly.com will have more information on the date and venue for the show when it becomes available.

Munoz beats the shit out of CB. Both are very good wrestlers. CB won't be able to sub Munoz and that is his only chance here.

i think munoz tkos him with those scary gnp shots from the top

This had better not be the main event.

Solid.

Free free free, I'm free ballin!

War Munoz, if when he gets on top of CB, it will be over.

I got CB by sub. Im still not sold on Munoz. Everytime I think of him I think of Matt Hamill kicking his head off lol.

That was at LHW. Keep in mind he only has 2 losses in his career. That one at LHW vs Hamill and a split dec loss to now #1 contender Yushin Okami.

Yeah, he was a wrecker in WEC, but he was not ready for Hamil in my opinion. He has looked good but Okami humbled him. I think Mark has a lot of upside, more so than many others fighters at similar places in their careers.

Ditto, and Munoz wrecks CB in a bad way in this fight.

CB is a fighter with potential though, he really is. I don't know if Munoz can get on top of a wrestler as good as CB. CB is better standing too. I don't put it past someone who hits as hard as Munoz to pull the fight out but I think skill for skill CB may have the match up advantage.

I'm going CB. He is a TUF'r who has talent.

He was a tuf'er, but is he tougher? Yeah can't write off CB at all, he has tools.

This UFC on VS event is shaping up better than the series of free UFC events we've seen since UFC 120 already. Neither one of these guys ever lays and prays and they won't be able to take each other down enough or establish dominance for long when they do. So this fight will deliver the goods either way and it's kind of an important fight for the division.

Diego is always in classic battles I don't expect anything less here. I truly think the Hathaway fight was an aberration. The Nightmare is back. I really like this fight as well.

I am also liking that Munoz joined the org in March of last year and by march of next year he will be having his 7th UFC fight. He is as active as I wish all good fighters could be, injury luck sure, but you know what I mean ya hurd.
