2 years agoAn impressive four-fight winning streak for Chris Gutierrez came to an end at UFC Kansas City on Saturday after he suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Pedro Munhoz. Gutierrez was undefeated since his UFC debut and was coming off a finish against former lightweight champ and UFC legend Frankie Edgar. In 15 minutes of action, Gutierrez was able to earn 77 significant strikes but absorbed a big right hand in the first round, which knocked him down. Gutierrez's biggest problem in this fight is that he rarely threw more than one strike at a time, and Munhoz just didn't give him space to get his kicks off.
