There is life yet in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s flyweight division, with the promotion scheduling Joseph Benavidez a fight two days after cancelling his previous matchup.
A flyweight battle between Benavidez and Alex Perez has been booked for “The Ultimate Fighter 28” Finale on Nov. 30. MMAJunkie first broke the story on Friday.
The second-winningest flyweight in company history, Benavidez was pulled from a booking against Ray Borg at UFC Fight Night 139 when Borg suffered a medical issue and was forced to withdraw.
