Video: Joseph Benavidez puts Ryan Seacrest in guillotine on ‘Live with Kelly and Ryan’

Joseph Benavidez has one of the most important nights of his career coming up Saturday, but he’s making some time during fight week to have a little fun along the way.
The longtime contender will attempt to finally capture the long-elusive flyweight title when he squares off against Deiveson Figueiredo (17-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) to fill the vacant 125-pound belt on Saturday in the main event of UFC on ESPN+ 27 in Norfolk, Va.
Tuesday, Benavidez (28-5 MMA, 15-3 UFC) and his wife, ESPN UFC reporter Megan Olivi, appeared on the popular “Live with Kelly and Ryan” program with hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest.
And Benavidez was all too happy to oblige in a demonstration of his vaunted “Joe Jitsu”skills.
As Ripa and Olivi watched on, Benavidez showed the audience how to apply a guillotine choke on Seacrest. And while he didn’t hold the hold as tight or for as long as some might like, he squeezed just enough to let the host know. Seacrest can be seen gasping for air as Benavidez lets go.
