How GOOD Was Joseph Benavidez Actually?
Joseph Benavidez seemed destined to become a UFC champion. The fighter who fights out of Sacramento, California made a name for himself early on by becoming one of the best at 135. He was very close becoming the WEC bantamweight champion, but unfortunately that never came into fruition. Regardless, once the WEC merged with the UFC, joe remained as one of the best at 135. But his frame was more suited at 125 as he was usually the smaller fighter in these bantamweight matchups. So thats when the UFC created the flyweight division and had a 4 man tournament to determine the inaugural champion. Although joe was the favourite to win it all, he came up short in the finals. Despite this defeat, he remained as a top 125er for most of his career and was able to fight for the title 3 more times. But he came up short in all of his attempts to capture the belt. And now at the age of 37, he retired from sport without winning any major titles. So how good was Joseph Benavidez actually?
