Historically, the flyweight division hasn’t got much attention from mainstream outlets and fans, so it’s nice to see Joseph Benavidez getting some of that spotlight ahead of UFC Norfolk.
Benavidez is booked to fight Deiveson Figueiredo this Saturday for the vacant, flyweight crown. Ahead of the bout, the perennial contender appeared on “Live Kelly and Ryan”, and he showed Seacrest the finer points of a guillotine choke.
Here is the complete line-up for UFC Norfolk (via MMA Mania).
