Jared Hamman and Joseph Benavidez were the big winners on UFC on Versus 5’s deep and loaded preliminary card.
Hamman picked up a come-from-behind victory in his middleweight debut, and Benavidez controlled a former champ with an impressive standup game.
The featured bouts were part of the preliminary card for UFC on Versus 5, which took place at Milwaukee’s Bradley Center. The eight-fight lineup streamed on Facebook prior to the night’s Versus-televised main card.
Dollaway took a first-round lead thanks to a swift takedown and a deep arm-triangle-choke attempt. While the fight appeared over due to the deep submission, Hamman miraculously survived, though he ate some heavy punches before the round ended.
