That can be Cejudo’s second right fight as an underdog after he shut as a big +350 puppy contrary to Demetrious”Mighty Mouse” Johnson, arguably the pound-for-pound greatest at the moment. The former Olympian outwrestled DJ en route to a split-decision success to become the second-ever flyweight champion.

This is the fifth time ever that the UFC has had two sitting champions stand toe-to-toe along with the fighter who has made the weight course move is 3-1 in the previous four fights, together with B.J. Penn’s reduction to GSP in 2009 being the only defeat. That having been said, Dillashaw is the first to drop down in weight to battle for a second belt, as B.J. Penn, Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier and Amanda Nunes all moved up in weight as they looked to fasten two straps at precisely the same moment.
