Babic is known for his unpredictable personality, but it was Bennett, a former soldier in the army who took Babic by surprise.
While on tour in Afghanistan, the Brit touched Babic's face, prompting Croatian to give him some slaps.
Bennett responded with a more meaty slap. Security was called in to stop the chaos.
Babic is 7-0 all by knockout and has never advanced past the third round.
Bennett (7-1) isn't fazed, and he accused his rival of "pulling people off the sofa" in the past.
Bennett said that he believed he had a slight advantage over his opponents. Bennett said, "For one I have seven weeks notice.
"I have been working out for seven weeks, training hard. I am also bigger. I will tell you the truth: I am there to fight.
"I'm going to fight on Saturday night. I'm not just coming to get a paycheck. We are going to have a great time.
"I know that he has had seven fights. He is doing well. He hasn't given his opponents any notice, I think.
"I think he's just been pulling people off of the settee. He has good stock, but I don't think so.
"When I win it, it will increase my stock tremendously. I want to be active.
"Hopefully, I get signed to somebody and we can move from there and get bigger fights on decent platforms. That's the goal.
