Humberto Bandenay is not at peace with how things went for him in the UFC, and he’s determined to change that.
“The goal is to return to the UFC,” Bandenay told MMA junkie in Spanish. “I’ve had offers from other companies: ACA in Russia, PFL, but I’m focused on my revenge. Personally, I have a revenge pending. I believe I belong in the UFC, and I can generate a lot to talk about, so that’s what I’m searching for with my team and manager Jason House.”
The Peruvian fighter made a big splash in his first UFC appearance but was never able to live up to the hype he created after his debut. Bandenay (20-8) debuted on short notice back in August 2017 at UFC Fight Night 114. With just two weeks of preparation, Bandenay knocked out TUF: Latin America 3 winner Martin Bravo in just 26 seconds. He also earned himself a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
