Mauricio Herrera: I went through hell to get where I’m at. It may be a small title now and it’s not going to be easy for Benavidez to just come and take that. There’s a lot of work behind that small belt, but it’s a sign that I’m gonna go up for bigger things, get that world title and bring it home.

Jose Benavidez: On Saturday night you guys are going to see a new champion. I feel great. I feel ready and I’m ready to rock and roll Saturday night.
