Las Vegas, NV – The UFC bantamweight division is one of the more stacked rosters in the promotion. Johnny Munoz and Tony Gravely may not be in the rankings yet, but a win at UFC Vegas 56 on Saturday at the UFC APEX may have been what they needed to move in the right direction.

Munoz (11-1) was 1-1 in his UFC stint last pulling off a submission victory at UFC 265 over Jamey Simmons.

Gravely (22-7) was by far the more experienced fighter overall and in the UFC. 4-1 so far in his UFC stint and coming off a decision win at UFC 270 over Saimon Oliveira he looked to add another win over a young name to his resume.

Round 1 began with Gravely looking for calf kicks, and ended up eating a couple himself. Munoz pops the jab out repeatedly. Gravely continued the pressure on Munoz and in a flurry landed a big right hand uppercut which dropped Munoz and Gravely jumped on him to finish the fight and win via TKO.

Official Result: Tony Gravely def. Johnny Munoz via R1 1:08 TKO
