Pedro Munhoz fined $2,500 for exiting cage after UFC 235 win

Pedro Munhoz’s UFC 235 celebration will leave his wallet a little lighter.

At a meeting of the Nevada Athletic Commission on Wednesday, a sanction was passed that will see Munhoz fined $2,500 for exiting the cage at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas immediately following his first-round knockout of Cody Garbrandt on March 2. The 32-year-old bantamweight will also have to pay $327.06 in prosecution fees before becoming eligible to compete again after previously being placed on temporary suspension.

Munhoz is next scheduled to fight Aljamain Sterling at UFC 238 on June 8 in Chicago.
