As if Henry Cejudo’s late withdrawal from his UFC 211 showdown with Sergio Pettis wasn’t enough of a hit to the flyweight division, two-time title challenger Joseph Benavidez has also suffered an injury.
On Wednesday (prior to the announcement of Cejudo-Pettis being scrapped), Benavidez posted on his Twitter and Instagram pages that he had sustained an injury and would not be able to fight Ben Nguyen at UFC Auckland on Saturday, June 10th (Sunday, June 11th in New Zealand).
Sad to share that I suffered an injury, will not be fighting June 10th.
