Pena has suffered three losses as a pro MMA fighter and all of them came during UFC competition. Pena competed on the UFC Ultimate Fighter 27, but was eliminated from the reality show due to injury.

Munoz (6-1-0) is winless thus far in the UFC, having dropped a bout to Nasrat Haqparast at UFC Fight Night 174. Munoz also competed on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series Season 2, Episode 6, defeating Nick Newell by unanimous decision.
