#2 UFC Bantamweight Joseph Benavidez

Joseph Benavidez

Joseph Benavidez came to UFC from  WEC, trains out of Team Alpha Male with Urijah Faber. He has WEC victories over top contenders such as Rani Yahya, Jeff Curran and Miguel Torres. However, in his two fights against reigning WEC champion Dominick Cruz, Benavidez has been on the losing end. Joseph wins two straights after moving into UFC, waiting to get a title shot, another rematch against Dominick Cruz. 


After defeating Eddie Wineland in his last fight, Joseph is ready for a rematch, title
shot against current champion Dominick Cruz
Joseph's fighting style has drawn comparisons to training partner
and former WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber
He has recently stated a possible move to the 125 pound division when the
flyweight roster is added to the UFC
