WEC bantamweight contender Joseph Benavidez knew exactly what he needed to do after Dominick Cruz handed him his first professional loss.
Benavidez’s aggressive style had won him the praise of fans, but it also cost him on the judges’ scorecards when the two met this past August and Cruz earned a unanimous decision.
Now poised for a second crack at Cruz and the 135-pound belt, Benavidez said he’ll be ready to press the action when the time comes.
