The thread where we pay him some RESPECT.
In thread after thread we see various Anderson fans doing a hatchet job on the MW career of Mark Munoz. He is being called the most over rated MW contender of all time and it is being suggested that even before the Weidman fight he had already been exposed as over rated and most people were still judging him based on his loss at LHW in his first UFC fight to Hamill.
Of course all this is being done by certain Anderson fans desperate to diminish Weidman's wins but this is the thread where Munoz gets some of the love and credit he deserves for what was one of the best MW runs of any contender, one fight away from a fight with Anderson.
Mark's big wins over Leben, Maia and Grove in a 7 fight win run are about as good as it gets at MW for number of top wins before getting a shot.
A perennially top 10 MW since dropping to the division. You deserve more respect then certain fans are giving you and you certainly do not deserve to have your career spun and rewritten as if you were never anything in the division but the most over rated MW.
War MUNOZ!
Mark "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" Munoz made his MW debut in Aug 2009. He won 7 of 8 fights at MW's before his Weidman fight, with his only loss being to the one MW with arguably a comparable winning record at MW at the time, in Okami who was 6 for 7 at the time with his only loss being to be CHael Sonnen.
Munoz had a better MW record then Anderson contenders Lutter, Cote, Leites, Belfort, Marquart, Maia, Hendo at the time they fought Anderson. The only Anderson contender with arguably a better record was Chael, who was 5 of 6 with a loss to Maia but the bigger wins in his run.
Searching I found this excerpt quote written by Sherdog.com in a forum post just prior to the Weidman fight...
Ironically the only MW currently whose record compares to where Munoz was before the Weidman loss...is Weidman himself. And Weidman too is getting the same hatchet job by the same Anderson fans.

After he battered Leben at UFC 138, Munoz respectfully requested a title shot against Anderson Silva. If everything had gone perfectly, it might have been Munoz, not Chael Sonnen, who fought Silva at UFC 148. Instead, an elbow injury knocked the Reign MMA product from a No. 1 contender’s bout against Sonnen at UFC on Fox 2, and you know the rest of the story. Now Munoz finds himself perhaps just one win away from a title shot, but he will have to earn it against Weidman, one of the fastest rising prospects in the sport.
