UFC 131’s Mark Munoz: "I proved I am in that top echelon" at middleweight

UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva goes for his 10th consecutive title defense when he meets Yushin Okami at UFC 134 in August.

After that? Well, your guess is as good as anyone else’s.

But following an impressive victory over Demian Maia at Saturday’s UFC 131 event, Mark Munoz believes he proved he should be in the title discussion.
