LAS VEGAS – Tony Gravely let his hands do the talking this past Saturday and already knows who he wants to test his striking against next. On the prelims of UFC Fight Night 207 at the UFC Apex, Johnny Munoz found himself down and out just over a minute into the fight. Gravely (23-7 MMA, 4-2 UFC) connected with an uppercut to the jaw just as Munoz (11-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) changed levels. It was a short, powerful strike, and after a couple of follow-up punches, the referee stopped the bout. After the fight, Gravely credited his success to the work he put in with his coaches, specifically the striking training drills. He said he doesn’t like to hit mitts because he feels it throws his range off, but Gravely’s coaches were able to figure out what works best for him.
