Mark Munoz is coming off a submission defeat against Gegard Mousasi at UFC Fight Night 41 and Fight Metric sent an email on Monday to all of the voters in the official UFC rankings that Munoz has been removed.
The email did not given an exact reason on why Munoz was removed from the rankings and TheMMAReport.com reached out to the UFC for clarification on the removal of Munoz from the official rankings.
“Mark is no longer under contract at this time,” the UFC said in a statement to TheMMAReport.com. “However, we are negotiating towards a new agreement.”
Munoz (13-5) has dropped back to back fights and three of his last four. All three of those defeats have come in main events and his last two defeats have come by stoppage in the first round.
During his fight with Mousasi, Munoz did suffer a knee injury where he torn his MCL and sprained his ACL. A timetable for his potential return to action has not been determined at this time.
