Two of the UFC’s top flyweights will be looking to get back into title contention early next year as Joseph Benavidez and Ian McCall are set to face off at UFC 156 in February.
Both men are coming into this bout following recent losses to champ Demetrious Johnson who won the inaugural 125 lb crown during the exciting four-man flyweight tournament earlier this year. A win for either fighter may earn them another crack at “Mighty Mouse,” provided he defends his belt against John Dodson in January.
I am very interested in this fight as Benavidez and McCall have widely been regarded as top-three 125ers over the past few years and should provide an amazing show at UFC 156.
Let’s take a look at the head-to-toe breakdown of this exciting flyweight matchup.
