Fitz sits down with UFC veteran flyweight Joe Benavidez.
Joe has competed at the top of the fight game for a long time and is still right at the top. His journey has been quite a ride from his early years in Texas to growing up in Las Cruces, New Mexico as one of three boys with a single mom.
His love of competition but lack of size led him to being a standout wrestler. But during his teenage years, he also battled drugs and alcohol. After getting sober, he found a passion for mixed martial arts and became a contender in short order.
Now, years later, he is still a top contender in the UFC.
