Ludvik Sholinian favored — picked against Johnny Munoz lean UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs Lemos · November 2, 2022
strikingdecent grapplingvery good

The analyst says Munoz should win on pure skill but admits he doesn't trust him to actually deliver and wouldn't parlay him.

Munoz brings a genuinely dangerous jiu-jitsu game that can end a fight the moment it hits the floor, and he's capable of getting it there himself rather than relying on his opponent to initiate. His striking is secondary but serviceable, made to look better by steady output. The knock isn't a lack of tools — it's that he's underperformed his ceiling before, so the pick comes with real hesitation about whether he executes.
