Can Henry Cejudo's Conor McGregor Impression Be Good Enough to Win a UFC Title?

Henry Cejudo looked like a new man in the cage Saturday at UFC 215.

No, seriously, he looked like a different person—like a miniature, right-handed Conor McGregor.

Cejudo certainly had some surprises cooked up for Wilson Reis in their flyweight contender fight at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The former Olympic wrestler adopted the distinctive wide-open, karate stance and pawing lead hand from McGregor's trademark offense and battered Reis en route to a second-round TKO victory.

The performance was so impressive that it single-handedly revitalized Cejudo's championship aspirations after back-to-back losses to titlist Demetrious Johnson and perennial world No.
