Up-and-coming Flyweight hopefuls, Ryan Benoit and Fredy Serrano had the privilege of kicking off UFC 201's pay-per-view (PPV) main card tonight (Sat., July 30, 2016) inside Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. And it was the fighter who took the match on super short notice, Benoit, who was able to escape "Hotlanta" with a very close split decision win over the decorated wrestler from Colombia.
Serrano got the action started early with a hard punch that set up a huge takedown slam. Serrano couldn't control Benoit on the ground, however, and when it got back to vertical "Baby Face" dropped "El Profe" with a great shot.
