UFC: Benavidez 'grateful' for another UFC title shot after Figueiredo loss

An emotional Benavidez broke down as another title fight evaded him, but remains 'grateful' for another chance. Benavidez: "Overall just grateful for life, that's what it comes down to, you know, like. To do it and to be able to do this, is a blessing in itself. And that's just on the fight side. I'm grateful for the opportunities and to be able to do it. I came in at two in the morning. It's dark, and I walk out. And it's light before I go to the bathroom and now taking punches to the face at six in the morning. Like, it's funny to hear that but like, I'm grateful that I'm capable to do that. And that's just, like I said, the fight stuff. And then I sit there and I said, grateful for all my corners and them taking their time away from their family. They've been here for weeks away from their family, trapped in a hotel. I've looked at my wife and I'm so grateful for her. So nothing can be bad, at the end of the day, you know. Going home and having someone that makes you feel like the best every day. So, you know, I sit here, humbled, impressed by him. And grateful I got the opportunity to go out there and display what I prepared for, and I'm just, it's just, it's crazy. I'm walking around, it's light outside getting stitches in a van and I'm just like, life comes at you fast, man. I'm in an empty arena in Abu Dhabi, two in the morning and one hotel being shipped over here. And now it's six in the morning and I just got the s*** beat out of me, like it's crazy."
