[2] He finished his first opponent, Kung Fu practitioner Asbel Cancio, in only 21 seconds, needing just a takedown and a flurry of quick ground and pound to do so.
Beneteau then faced Jeet Kune Do expert Todd Medina and defeated him in very much the same way, and then reached the finals, where he was pitted against wrestling champion and future hall-of-famer Dan Severn.
[5] After his first UFC tenure, Beneteau made an appearance in Brazilian promotion Universal Vale Tudo Fighting, entering its UVF 4 tournament.
Beneteau made his final UFC appearance in 1997, where he faced the Carlson Gracie apprentice and world heavyweight Brazilian jiu-jitsu champion Carlos Barreto.
[7] Beneteau then began to work with Don Frye and Brian Johnson in New Japan under the Club 245 stable which was named after the State of California criminal code for assault and bodily harm.
