Henry Cejudo was little more than three years into his mixed martial arts career when he challenged Demetrious Johnson for the flyweight title at UFC 197.
At the time, Cejudo was one of the top up-and-comers in the sport, a blue-chip 10-0 prospect with the credentials of an Olympic gold medalist wrestler, but he was also still very much a work in progress, and matched against one of the greatest fighters to ever live, that inexperience reared its head in an inauspicious way. Cejudo ate a flurry of blows from the clinch and lost to Johnson in less than three minutes.
