Munoz tried to change things up in the second round by doing more leg kicks, but Aldo kept catching him with combos. Aldo’s jab was also a positive for him in between working the body. Munoz tried to mount a comeback in the third round but Aldo was just too much. A close fight ended with Aldo getting the decision win.
