Justin Jaynes (16-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) will look to return to the win column when he fights Gabriel Benitez (21-8 MMA, 5-4 UFC) at UFC Vegas 16 on Dec. 5.
“I like the match-up because Benitez doesn’t have any interest in wrestling, or at least I’d like to think he doesn’t,” Jaynes told MMASucka. “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell him and I’ll tell the world, I don’t have any interest in wrestling. I have all my interest in knocking him out.”
Benitez will mark Jaynes’ second consecutive southpaw opponent, as “Guitar Hero” is coming off a loss to Gavin Tucker.
