Joseph Benavidez wants to see Henry Cejudo stick to his mission of saving the UFC flyweight division.
Cejudo defended his flyweight title for the first time in a superfight against bantamweight champ T.J. Dillashaw, stopping Dillashaw in 32 seconds in the UFC Brooklyn main event this past weekend. Heading into the fight, Cejudo said he planned to save the 125-pound division with a win over Dillashaw. Late last year, it was reported that the UFC had been planning to get rid of the weight class, and Cejudo believed a win over Dillashaw would persuade the promotion to keep it around.
