Henry Cejudo entered UFC on ESPN+1 with plenty of confidence. The UFC flyweight champion was set to defend his title against bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw in the main event at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday, January 19, and he delivered a strong message in a big way.
Cejudo came out pressing the pace and immediately went to work against Dillashaw.
In just 32 seconds, Cejudo showed off his striking accuracy and forced Dillashaw to crumble to the mat before the referee to step in and award a TKO victory for the 125-pound king.
It was the fifth fastest finish in UFC title fight history.
