Johnny Munoz

Record: 10-0
Age: 27
Height: 5’9″
Birthplace:
Corona, Calif.

One of the best pound-for-pound prospects in North America, it’s about time for [autotag]Johnny Munoz[/autotag] to be noticed. One of the faces of King of the Cage for the past five years, Munoz is finally ready to venture outside the promotion. A versatile, multi-faceted finisher, Munoz presents a puzzle no opponent has been able to figure out yet. He holds an 80 percent finishing rate with five submissions and three knockouts. He currently holds the KOTC bantamweight title. To put it simply, Munoz on DWCS is an absolute no-brainer.

Irwin Rivera

Record: 9-4
Age: 31
Height: 5’6″
Birthplace:
Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico

[autotag]Irwin Rivera[/autotag] may not have the highest winning percentage of a fighter on this list. The numbers, however, don’t accurately represent his abilities – and they don’t account for excitement, either. A four-fight veteran of Titan FC, Rivera has gone 3-1 under the promotion’s banner and is riding a three-fight winning streak. With speedy, heavy hands, Rivera has put out three straight opponents. In his most recent outing, Rivera temporarily derailed highly-touted Danny Sabatello with a fourth round knockout. He’s exciting, he’s flashy, and he’s frenetic. Rivera is a DWCS-type guy.
