The UFC has announced today that they are going to be putting Demetrius Johnson and Joseph Benavidez back in the cage to face each other again. The two will be the main event for the TUF Finale on November 30. This will be an interesting rematch to watch. Both men have gotten increasingly better with every fight. Both men have truly outclassed their opponents since their last fight against each other. Demetrius Johnson has successfully defended the UFC Flyweight title twice now since they first met last year. Benavidez has fought three times since their last meeting and beaten all three men.
This is an exiting fight that makes complete since right now considering the state of the UFC Flyweight Division right now. With Ian McCall still needing a few more decisive victories before he is even in the same conversation as Benavidez or Johnson, this will truly be a battle of the top two guys in the division. In their last fight "Mighty Mouse" Johnson seemed to be the quicker more technical fighter of the two and it was very noticible even with Benavidez keeping the fight competitive; it just wasn't enough. The fight was very close and led to a split decision in which Johnson had his hand raised at the end of the bell.
