Benavidez Still Working Toward The Best Version Of Himself
Staying at the top of a UFC division for seven years isn’t something that many fighters can claim as an accomplishment.

Benavidez has defeated the crème de la crème of top flyweights during his successful career, including Jussier Formiga, Dustin Ortiz, John Moraga, Alex Perez and current flyweight champion Henry Cejudo.
