Ultimate Fighter drew its best ratings numbers so far this season on Friday night, and against tougher than usual sports competition. But it would be premature to use the number to say the new season is catching on.
Newly crowned UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson talks win over Benavidez and first title defense against whichever top flyweight emerges victorious at UFC on FX 5.
UFC Flyweight Demetrious Johnson will finally get his chance to compete for the 125 pound championship against his friend Joseph Benavidez at UFC 152 in Toronto on Set. 22, 2012 -- and then go out for milkshakes afterwards.
Top UFC flyweight contender Joseph Benavidez talks about the frustration of having to wait to compete for the title and opens up about his past that could have sent him down a very dark road.
After a long wait and some scoring controversy, the UFC's inaugural Flyweight Champion will be crowned when Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson square off for the belt. So when is the fight going down? MMAmania.com has a few clues. Check it out!
