TORONTO – They say everything happens for a reason, and it would seem Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson subscribe to that theory.
It may have taken them a night or two to get fully on board, but the flyweights, who co-headline Saturday’s UFC 152 pay-per-view event, are there now – even though they once had top billing on the card.
Benavidez and Johnson were hit with shrapnel after UFC 151, originally slated for Sept. 1, was canceled last month.
