MMA: 'Filipino Wrecking Machine' Mark Muñoz gets wrecked, TKO-ed

(Updated 1:43pm) Middleweight Chris Weidman may have made a name for himself with a dominant performance against Fil-Am Mark Muñoz, getting a technical knockout in the second round of the main event of the fourth UFC on Fuel TV event of the year, Wednesday (Thursday, PHL time). As reported by BloodyElbow.com, the first round ended with Weidman as the aggressor all-throughout, nailing several takedowns in the process. Muñoz got knocked down again early in the second, but managed to recover. However, as he charged towards his opponent, Weidman nailed him with an elbow to the face, sending Oklahoma State University alum to the mat. Pressing his advantage, Weidman crumpled Muñoz with several punches to the side of his opponent's head on a ground and pound, earning him the victory at the 1:37 mark.   After the bout, Weidman declared that he wanted to fight Anderson Silva, the current UFC Middleweight champion (32-4), UFC's longest reigning titlist.
