Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos MELBOURNE, Australia – After another impressive win, this time at UFC 193, Ben Nguyen is making a name for himself beyond the viral video that got him signed to the industry-leading promotion: “I feel like I’ve been around for a while, and I’m starting to get that exposure to the mainstream public,” he told MMAjunkie. “I feel like part of it is being a black horse.” In the curtain-jerker of Saturday’s massive pay-per-view card at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, Nguyen (15-5 MMA, 2-0 UFC) stole prospect Ryan Benoit’s thunder, submitting him in the first round via rear-naked choke. Benoit (8-5 MMA, 2-2 UFC) had upset Sergio Pettis – little brother of ex-lightweight champ Anthony Pettis – in his previous outing. Nguyen, meanwhile, picked up his second straight stoppage after a debut knockout of Alptekin Ozkilic in May.
