Benavidez truly is elite. Not only did he win the grappling exchanges with a jujitsu expert in Formiga, he beat him by tko twice. If the UFC does keep flyweight, he without a doubt deserves the next shot.

Even at his age, Joey B looks improved every outing since his time off. I think Cejudo should’ve got the nod the first time but he’s definitely earned the shot, IMO. Huge statement with the finish there. Really impressive how he stoke the grappling exchanges, not just the wrestling. Well done, sir. Well done.

If you take a look at Benavidez' whole career, his record can be compared to some of the best P4P of all time. All that's missing is an UFC title.

Oh he’s absolutely in the conversation for best who never got the belt. Has been since WEC days. He’s still got time though. Still can’t believe Bisping got his ( and he was never even in my conversation)

Closer it gets to this fight the less confident I am that JDS can withstand the onslaught of the 1 st round. Did you see those teep kicks from Ngannou? Holy crap!!
