At the bottom of the post, let us know if we got it right by voting on your choice. * * * * The nominees Enrique Barzola def. Gabriel Benitez at UFC 211 A dramatic last-second knockdown wasn’t enough to keep “The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 2” winner Enrique Barzola (13-3-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) away from a victory on the judges’ scorecard against Gabriel Benitez (19-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC). Where Barzola fell short on his feet, he excelled in rag-dolling Benitez to the canvas over three rounds.
