BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Joseph Benavidez isn’t going to stop campaigning for his bosses at the UFC to keep his division around. After another flyweight win Saturday night, on the main card of an event that featured a flyweight title fight in the headliner, Benavidez continued his push back against rumors the UFC is going to dissolve the 125-pound weight class in the only way he knows how. If the flyweight division is sticking around, Benavidez (27-5 MMA, 14-3 UFC) hopes his unanimous decision win over Dustin Ortiz (19-8 MMA, 8-6 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 1 has him next in line for a title shot. “That’s what I’m here for since the beginning, since the original four – we fought in Australia, and I fought ‘DJ’ (Demetrious Johnson) for the inaugural title.
