For family man Mark Munoz, a UFC 102 return required convincing and reassuring

By MMAEdition on Aug 23, 2009 with Comments 0

For Mark Munoz, success at the Division I collegiate wrestling level and now in the most prominent mixed-martial-arts organization in the world is the result of his support system.

Munoz looks to his parents, his wife and kids, and even his training partners as one big, extended family.

So when Munoz, who returns this coming weekend to fight Nick Catone at UFC 102, suffered a stunning head-kick knockout loss to Matt Hamill earlier this year at UFC 96, he had to reassure a small army of loved ones that the adversity would only make him stronger.
