Gabriel Benitez has his second bout of 2020 booked.
The Mexican competitor returns at UFC on ESPN+ 41 on Nov. 14 in Las Vegas in a featherweight bout against Justin Jaynes. The news was first reported Wednesday by Milenio and later confirmed by MMA Junkie with multiple people with knowledge of the booking who asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has not yet made an official announcment.
Benitez (21-8 MMA, 5-4 UFC) last fought in May. He suffered a unanimous decision loss to Omar Morales at lightweight, a weight class above his usual division. The American Kickboxing Academy product is on a two-fight skid and 2-2 in his last four.
Meanwhile, Jaynes (16-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) fought in August at UFC on ESPN+ 32, where he lost to Gavin Tucker via submission. Prior to that, Jaynes was on a five-fight wining streak, which included a successful UFC debut against veteran Frank Camacho.
