David Benavidez and Caleb Plant, who were once considered ‘formal’ opponents, now appear to be enemies. A routine weigh-in was all it took to set them off. And they both seem eager to face off against each other, be it in the ring or elsewhere.
Their animosity has been evident for weeks, and it was further confirmed today as David Benavidez and Caleb Plant came face to face. Both of the fighters could not maintain a civil demeanor. The situation was made worse as both teams were present, and tensions ran high.
Benavidez insisted on having a direct confrontation with Caleb, without anyone standing between them.
As they confronted each other, the two fighters began to exchange threats. This also occurred in their previous encounters, and the situation appeared to escalate rapidly.
As chaos began to erupt, a staff member had to intervene and step between the two fighters after Caleb placed his index finger on Benavidez’s neck. The Mexican Monster reacted by attempting to shove Plant but was unable to do so effectively. Causing Caleb to take a step back.
