5 Fights that defined Henry Cejudo's UFC career 

#4 Henry Cejudo vs. Demetrious Johnson II (UFC 227 - August 2018)

Henry Cejudo stunned the world when he defeated Demetrious Johnson at UFC 227.

The shallow depth of the UFC's Flyweight division meant that it would take Henry Cejudo just three fights to earn himself another crack at Demetrious Johnson's championship.

Cejudo even lost the first of that trio of bouts, suffering a split decision loss to Joseph Benavidez. A pair of victories in 2017, however, was enough to secure Henry Cejudo an opportunity against Johnson at UFC 227 in August 2018 - and it was an opportunity that Triple C did not waste.

Henry Cejudo edged a closely-contested fight by split decision, inflicting Johnson's first professional defeat in some seven years. Cejudo was a massive underdog heading into the contest but emerged as the champion.

It was widely assumed that a trilogy fight with Johnson was a given. The loss to Cejudo, though, proved Johnson's final fight with the UFC, as he was traded to ONE FC (in exchange for Ben Askren) just two months later.

As for Henry Cejudo, the new Flyweight champion was about to embark on a winning run that even he might have struggled to believe.
