Gabriel Benitez will lock horns with Andre Fili at UFC Fight Night "Brown vs. Gastelum" on Nov. 21.
A native of Tijuana, Mexico, Benitez has scored triumphs over Humberto Brown Morrison and Clay Collard in his first two Octagon appearances, both of which occurred in Mexico City. The 27-year-old has won his last four fights overall and owns an 18-4 career mark.
Fili, meanwhile, has alternated wins and losses since his promotional debut in October 2013. Most recently, the Team Alpha Male product fell victim to a Godofredo Castro triangle choke in the opening frame of their encounter at UFC Fight Night “Maia vs. LaFlare” on March 21.
