When the UFC booked reigning Flyweight champion Henry Cejudo against reigning Bantamweight king TJ Dillashaw in a ‘Superfight’ to begin 2019, it came as a shock to many fans when it was revealed that Dillashaw would be moving down in weight for the fight rather than Cejudo moving up. It wasn’t the only shocker that the fight would deliver, though.

Despite the concern of many observers, Dillashaw was able to make the 125lbs Flyweight limit, but looked gaunt and drawn out as compared to his muscular physique at 135lbs. And immediately the strength difference in the two was exposed as seconds into the fight, Cejudo simply shoved Dillashaw to the ground.

Moments later he followed with a glancing head kick and a right hand that dropped Dillashaw, and from there ‘The Messenger’ didn’t mess around, finishing his rival off with a quickfire flurry of punches. The fight lasted just 32 seconds and although Dillashaw protested the stoppage, there was no question as to who was the better fighter – this was the biggest win of Cejudo’s career.
