Joseph Benavidez beats Jeff Curran at WEC 40

Joseph Benavidez, who trains with and fights like Urijah Faber, defeated Jeff Curran in a unanimous decision. One of the most exciting fights that I have seen this year. Certainly more exciting than the mega-hyped GSP vs Penn fight.

I saw Clay Guida in his corner. Is Guida training with Faber now? Or, did they just train with Guida while in Illinois? That's a crzy, unorthodox threesome: Faber, Guida and Benavidez.

Bowles gets his chance at Torres next, but hopefully this puts Benavidez as the most logical fight for the winner of the Torres/Bowles fight.

Another MMA fighter repping for Sacramento and Ultimate Fitness.
