Johnny Muñoz Jr (born February 16, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Bantamweight division. A professional since 2015, he is most notable for his stint in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

With his parents founding the BJJ school C-Quence Jiu Jitsu in Norco, California, Muñoz started training at five years old, having to train at least two times a week, eventually earning his black belt in BJJ from his mother and father at the age of 20.[2][3]

In addition to being a fighter, Muñoz went to college and received his master’s degree in 2020.[4]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Muñoz began his amateur MMA career in 2014 after competing across various BJJ organizations, compiling a 3–0 record, finishing all his bouts in the first round. After going pro the next year, Muñoz captured his biggest title in Jiu Jitsu in 2016, winning the SJJIF World Jiu-Jitsu Championship title in his weight class. Muñoz would spend his whole pro career before the UFC with King of the Cage, going 9–0 and winning the KOTC Bantamweight Championship against Rentsen Otgontulga.[4]
