I watch boxing, and I see grabbing, punching in the clinch, etc. all the time. The fans there understand that if the ref doesn't break it up, its not illegal. I don't know why MMA fans think fighters shouldn't fight the same way. If the short grab was so bad, the ref should have taken off a point. Even if he did, it would have NO impact on the fights outcome, since Sonnen was stopped a minute later, and it wasn't by short grab.
Munoz getting a title shot makes sense, but his takedowns are not as good as Sonnen's, and he gasses pretty fast. Also, his punching is very sloppy. Nothing I've seen from him makes me think he has much of a chance against Silva.
