Benji Russell Radach (born April 5, 1979) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Middleweight division of Bellator MMA. A professional competitor since 2001, Radach has also formerly competed for the UFC, the WEC, Strikeforce, and the Los Angeles Anacondas of the IFL.
Born and raised in Castle Rock, Washington, Radach began his career as a high school wrestler at Castle Rock High School, and was talented. Radach finished fifth at the Washington State Wrestling Championships at 141 pounds as a junior and eighth at 148 pounds as a senior.
Radach made his professional MMA debut in 2001 and compiled an undefeated record of 10-0 before being signed by the UFC to compete as a Welterweight.
Radach made his UFC debut against Steve Berger at UFC 37 on May 10, 2002. Radach originally was declared the winner via TKO 27 seconds into the first round, but the decision was later overturned when replay showed that Radach hit Berger in the back of the head illegally, which caused the TKO win.
Radach next fought against Nick Serra on June 22, 2002 at UFC 37.5. Radach won via unanimous decision.
Radach then made his next appearance against future UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk at UFC 39 on September 27, 2002. Radach lost in the first round via TKO from a referee stoppage due to a cut.
Radach returned to the regional circuit where he went 4-1 before facing former WEC Middleweight Champion Chris Leben under the SportFight 4 on June 26, 2004. Radach lost via TKO in the third round after breaking his jaw, and as a result, Radach was kept away from active competition for three years.
