Joseph Benavidez V Henry Cejudo: What will go down.

The co-main event of The Ultimate Fighter 24 finale, sees a UFC Flyweight bout between bitter rivals, and former title challengers Joseph Benavidez and Henry Cejudo. The two coaches on 'The Tournament of Champions' have nurtured rival organisation champions throughout, with Tim Elliott overcoming Hiromasa Ogikubo in the final, and was rewarded with a UFC Flyweight title challenge against pound-for-pound #1 Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson in the main event. Both coaches are highly familiar with DJ, with Cejudo providing Johnson's latest test, before the Olympic gold medallist was finished in the first round via brutal knees and strikes. Joseph Benavidez on the other hand has twice fell to Johnson, losing a split decision in 2012, before being knocked out in their 2013 rematch. 'The Messenger' Cejudo will obviously dominate any of the wrestling exchanges if they were to take place, while 'Joe B-Wan Kenobi' has a nasty Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappling game, also finding the knockout 6 times in his 10 year career. Cejudo's only loss in his career came to at the hands and knees, of Johnson, beating Jussier Formiga on his way to the Flyweight title challenge. Henry Cejudo's superior wrestling will most certainly be a big platform if he is to find the win, but Benavidez' experience may prove to be more than enough to carry him over the line.
