Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo appeared together on “UFC Tonight” Wednesday to discuss their upcoming fight and coaching assignments on The Ultimate Fighter 24.
The two meet in December and will coach 16 flyweights that are after a shot at UFC champion Demetrious Johnson.
The 24th season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) was supposed to feature flyweight fighters with the winner getting an immediate title shot at dominant 125-pound champion Demetrious Johnson, but that was cast into a bit of doubt when a recent casting call scheduled for April was canceled.

The 24th season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) was supposed to feature flyweight fighters with the winner getting an immediate title shot at dominant 125-pound champion Demetrious Johnson, but that was cast into a bit of doubt when a recent casting call scheduled for April was canceled.
But the unorthodox scheduling has now been confirmed, as it was revealed on UFC Tonight that title challengers Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo will be the opposing coaches on the show, of which the winner will immediately face off against Johnson for the belt at the TUF Finale on December 3. Benavidez and Cejudo will meet in the co-main event of the Finale.
It was also reported that the competitors on the show will come from other organizations, although the previously mentioned tryout will no longer take place.
Both top-ranked flyweights have a history with ‘Mighty Mouse,’ the only flyweight champion the UFC has ever known, as Benavidez met him in the inaugural UFC 125-pound title fight at UFC 152, losing a close split decision before being infamously knocked out by the pound-for-pound great in their rematch at UFC on FOX 13.
The former Team Alpha Male standout has won five straight bouts since the second loss to Johnson.
Cejudo, meanwhile, recently met ‘Mighty Mouse’ to similar results, succumbing to a first-round knockout thanks to a brutal barrage of knees in the co-main event of April 23’s UFC 197 from Las Vegas. The loss was the first defeat in the octagon for the Olympic gold medalist wrestler.
It was also the eighth straight title defense for ‘Mighty Mouse,’ putting him only two shy of former middleweight champ Anderson Silva’s UFC record of 10.
Benavidez and Cejudo do have a bit of prior history, as they were linked to a potential fight at UFC 188 that never materialized, giving them another angle aside from TUF.
TUF 24 will debut on August 31, 2016 on FOX Sports 1.

Former UFC flyweight title contenders Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo will lead a cast of 125-pound fighters as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 24.
The announcement was made during Wednesday night’s episode of “UFC Tonight.”
Benavidez and Cejudo, who have both fought – and lost – to current champion Demetrious Johnson, will coach 16 flyweights from several organizations around the world. The winner will receive a title fight at The Ultimate Fighter Finale in December vs. Johnson.
For their efforts, Benavidez and Cejudo will meet in the co-main event that same evening.
TUF 24 begins August 31 on FOX Sports 1 at 10 p.m. ET.

For Team Alpha Male — another one bites the dust.
After losing former UFC Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw recently, Team Alpha Male lost another one of its’ most established top fighters, as former UFC Flyweight title contender Joseph Benavidez has apparently parted ways with the California-based MMA team.
Much like Dillashaw, Benavidez is expected to end up representing the Elevation Fight Team, that is, according to Team Alpha Male coach Justin Buchholz.
Buchholz told the folks at Stud Radio the following about Joseph Benavidez parting ways with Team Alpha Male:
“He did leave the team. I mean, you train here in Sacramento, you’re part of Team Alpha Male, or you don’t live here. He hasn’t trained at all since I took over as head coach. I thought Joe would at least give a chance of me, and Danny, and Holdsworth running this new program along with Master Thong and Joey. But he never did. He came in town for one week, he moved his house, did, like, one boxing class. I’m not upset at him for leaving because he didn’t leave under me as head coach. He left when the team was hurting — we didn’t have a coach, we didn’t have much direction. So it is what it was.”
It appears No. 1 ranked UFC flyweight Joseph Benavidez (24-4) has followed in former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw’s footsteps, and has parted ways with Team Alpha Male. In a recent interview with Stud Show Radio via Bloody Elbow, Alpha Male head coach Justin Buchholz confirmed the news, “He did leave the team. I mean, you train here

It appears No. 1 ranked UFC flyweight Joseph Benavidez (24-4) has followed in former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw’s footsteps, and has parted ways with Team Alpha Male.
In a recent interview with Stud Show Radio via Bloody Elbow, Alpha Male head coach Justin Buchholz confirmed the news,
“He did leave the team. I mean, you train here in Sacramento, you’re part of Team Alpha Male, or you don’t live here,” Buchholz said.
“He hasn’t trained at all since I took over as head coach. I mean, I don’t know. I thought Joe would at least give a chance of me, and Danny, and Holdsworth running this new program along with Master Thong and Joey. But he never did. He came in town for one week, he moved his house, did, like, one boxing class.”
Joseph follows a similar blueprint as Dillashaw, who said his farewell to Sacramento to join Colorado’s Elevation Fight Team. Dillashaw left Team Alpha Male in October of last year for a lucrative contract in addition to be able to train with Ludwig for his title defense against the returning Dominick Cruz.
Dillashaw took a lot of heat from fellow teammates for leaving the camp, including his now-former friend and TAM founder Urijah Faber. Dillashaw would go on to lose his title bout via split decision following his first camp since leaving Alpha Male.
Buchholz holds no grudges however, and feels that Benavidez will reunite with his former teammate once again.
“I’m not upset at him for leaving because he didn’t leave under me as head coach,” he said. “I think he’s going to do some camps out there (Colorado).”
Benavidez is riding a five-fight win streak, including his recent unanimous decision win over Zach Makovsky in early February.

Throughout the nearly 23-year history of the UFC, there’s been an elite group of champions that truly define both their weight class and era with unique and transcendent skills. Names like Anderson Silva, Georges St. Pierre, Jon Jones, Randy Couture, and Matt Hughes have all made their mark upon MMA as one of the greatest champions of all-time.
However, there is also another group of fighters who, while no doubt world-class and among the best of their respective eras, simply could not rise above the truly game-breaking champions above them to win the belt. Some of them were ousted by the legends of the fight game, and others never got the title shot.
Regardless, these fighters will go down as solid and effective in their own right, but just not good enough to be called UFC champion (at least not yet for some). Let’s take a look at the best fighters to never win a UFC championship.
