UFC on ESPN+1 took place on Saturday, December 19 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, marking the mixed martial arts promotion’s debut with new broadcasting partner ESPN. The event was headlined by a superfight between UFC flyweight champion Henry Cejudo and bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw.
The bout didn’t last long, with Cejudo cementing himself as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet with a 32-second shellacking of the 135-pound titleholder.
Cejudo vs. Dillashaw wasn’t without controversy, however, with many viewers and fighters questioning the stoppage.
In the co-main event, Greg Hardy was disqualified after an illegal knee which resulted in the first loss of his career.
UFC on ESPN+1 also delivered standout performances from Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Paige VanZant.
