David Benavidez vs. Zurdo Ramirez form and history

Few cross-weight fights will catch the eye like this one does, as David Benavidez bids to write his name into the history books.

In Zurdo Ramirez, he encounters one of his most formidable foes to date, a two-title star that has swept the cruiserweight competition.

With Jai Opetaia off the board at Zuffa however, and Chris Billam-Smith hot on the Australian's heels, there is a gulf to be filled here.

Benavidez will be out to prove he belongs among the century's all-time greats with another division conquered and under his belt.

But Ramirez will be desperate to keep his hands on his crown, amid a looming chance to perhaps launch an undisputed bid too.
