Well, Gabriel Benitez's night just opened up ud83dude05. https://t.co/rpAx3E5E5V

Gabriel Benitez made quick work of Humberto Bandenay at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile at UFC Fight Night 129 on Saturday.

Benitez dropped Bandenay in the first 15 seconds and was smelling blood. He tried to jump in for the finish, but Bandenay began to defend and sought a submission. He very nearly got it.

Bandenay went for an armbar and tried to extend it for the finish. Benitez's arm was almost straightened out when he hoisted Bandenay up and slammed him on the mat. Bandenay's head bounced off the canvas and he was done.
