The UFC bantamweight champion felt he was robbed, his flyweight title fight against Henry Cejudo stopped far too early Saturday night at Barclays Center in the main event of the first-ever UFC card on ESPN+. Cejudo, the 125-pound champ, clipped Dillashaw in the openings seconds and continued to flurry with Dillashaw struggling to defend. Referee Kevin MacDonald called it at the 32-second mark.
Dillashaw said he was caught behind the ear, was perhaps a bit wobbly, but far from rocked and not at all out of the fight.
“Sucks to have it stolen from me,” Dillashaw said at the post-fight press conference.
