Despite main-event snub, UFC 152's Benavidez aims to be flyweight George Washington

Prior to the cancellation of this past weekend's planned UFC 151 event, Joseph Benavidez was going to be the headliner of this month's UFC 152 fight card.

However, with Jon Jones now facing Vitor Belfort in the main event of that card, the flyweight has now been relegated to co-feature status. No matter, says the Team Alpha Male fighter.

"No one says, 'I want to be a UFC main event,'" Benavidez told MMAjunkie.com. "They say, 'I want to be a UFC champion.' I still get to do that."
