In a battle of top middleweights in need of a win, Gegard Mousasi (35-4-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) submitted Mark Munoz (13-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) in the first round of today’s UFC Fight Night 41 headliner at O2 World Berlin in Germany. After dropping a decision to Lyoto Machida in February in his return to the octagon from a knee injury, Mousasi reclaimed his status as a title contender by becoming the first man to submit Munoz in MMA competition.
