-Joseph Benavidez x Jussier Formiga
Joseph Benavidez repeated history against an improved Jussier Formiga. He trounced a true divisional legend in both his foe’s physical and technical primes. That is all kinds of impressive, especially when people expect you to diminish. Give him his title shot! #UFCMinneapolis pic.twitter.com/88NUfWvowo
