      He came pretty close to submitting Dustin in the very first round but didn't have enough force to choke him out.

    Benoit Is still a high level fighter regardless of him losing to To Dustin, that will be a good rematch. Because Dustin still doesn't have it to get that belt. He's gonna get be. At I'm not saying because I don't like Dustin or do like Dustin. But the person he's gonna rip him up. Sorry, but not saying he's not that good anymore but. Things change people get higher levels and Dustin is a good fighter. But we don't see him getting that belt back at this time.
    But again Benoit It is still a force to be reckoned with.He will become a champion someday.Regardless for x military fighter to be To be reckoned with.
