Henry Cejudo’s first title defense will go down as a 32-second TKO in the record books, and he’s just as quick to stop any talk of a bad stoppage.
In the main event of UFC Brooklyn on Saturday, Cejudo successfully prevented T.J. Dillashaw from adding Cejudo’s UFC flyweight championship to his trophy case that already currently holds the UFC bantamweight championship. He wobbled Dillashaw early in the fight and capitalized with follow-up strikes until the bout was waved off.
Afterwards, both Dillashaw and UFC president Dana White expressed skepticism over referee Kevin MacDonald’s decision to call for the stoppage, but Cejudo is confident that the fight ended right when it should have.
