Mark Munoz may need to find a new job following a recent incident at the high school he coaches wrestling at.
The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight contender has been placed on administrative leave from his duties as Fairmont Private Schools high school wrestling coach, according to TMZ Sports.
Munoz allowed two students to settle their difference by boxing on the playground.
“The 44-year-old, per our sources, allowed the scrap to happen — but we’re told the ex-UFC fighter believed the impromptu boxing match was more jovial than violent.
We’re told, however, one of the boys’ parents was outraged about the scrap — and went to administration over it all.
A school spokesperson declined to get into the specifics of the allegations against Munoz, but did confirm the coach has been placed on administrative leave through the end of this school year and will not have his contract picked up once it ends.
“[He] will not be returning to campus,” the spokesperson said.
Known as “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” during his run in mixed martial arts, Munoz retired in 2015 after his only fight in the Philippines.
