Size, or lack of it, has been an ever-present part of UFC bantamweight Joseph Benavidez’s life.
At 5-foot-4, he’ll probably never play center or take it to the hole for a dunk. Yet he’s grown tall through the trials of competition, especially when it comes to his transition from wrestling to mixed martial arts.
He’s never had to deal with a physical handicap, though, and that’s why he’s so impressed with Arizona State University senior Anthony Robles, who recently won an NCAA championship.
