John Dodson vs. Pedro Munhoz re-booked for UFC 222
After the two were supposed to meet last weekend at UFC Belem, the bout is now back on for UFC 222 on March 3 in Las Vegas, MMA Fighting confirmed Tuesday with the UFC. The Las Vegas Review-Journal was the first to report the news. UFC exec David Shaw said Saturday night that the promotion hoped it could make the bantamweight fight happen on that card.
Dodson and Munhoz would have fought at that Brazil event, but Munhoz missed weight by four pounds Friday and Dodson declined to take the fight. Munhoz blamed the miss on there being a lack of hot water in the hotel, which messed up his weight cut. He wasn’t the only competitor on the UFC Belem card to make that claim, either.
