Pedro Munhoz, a former Top 15-ranked bantamweight and 22-fight Octagon veteran, has asked for his release from the UFC, according to a Thursday, April 9, 2026 Midnight Mania roundup. One of the quotes highlighted in the piece summed up a fighter’s mindset as simply, "Still hungry".
The same rundown noted that Khamzat Chimaev trained with Demetrious Johnson and submitted him in less than a minute in a video referenced in the article. Another line captured a fighter’s admiration with, "I grew up on his fights".
UFC 327 also figured into the recap, with Kevin Holland making it clear he wants a rematch with Daniel Rodriguez. Elsewhere, a quote of "I bailed him out" was featured, along with the nickname "The Hangman" being referenced.
Rounding out the trio of stories, Josh Barnett was identified as the coach of UFC bantamweight Victor Henry. Barnett is accusing Bryce Mitchell of avoiding a fight with Henry, adding tension to the bantamweight picture mentioned in the Midnight Mania piece.
