UFC Fight Night 129 results: Gabriel Benitez stuns Humberto Bandenay in 39-second thriller

Gabriel Benitez (21-6 MMA, 5-2 UFC) and Humberto Bandenay (14-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) packed about as much action as possible into a 39-second matchup, but it was “Moggly” who proved victorious.

The featherweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 129 event at Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile. It aired on FS2 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FS1.

The two fighters came out swinging at the start, with Benitez landing a crushing left hand that sent his opponent crashing to the floor. With Benitez seeking the quick finish, Bandenay responded, grabbing hold of the right wrist and locking in an armbar that threatened to end the fight. But Benitez had other ideas, lifting Bandenay into the air, then slamming him into the floor in violent fashion. The impact dazed his opponent, and a few follow-up hammerfists sealed the result, leaving Bandenay out cold in stunning fashion.

“My next step is taking my wife out for dinner,” Benitez said after the win. “That’s what I’m thinking right now. After that, whatever they offer me. I’m going to be working hard and getting ready to fight whenever. Stronger opponents will come, and that’s why I have to keep on training.”
