Henry Cejudo remains the Flyweight champ after his quick performance against T.J. Dillashaw at UFC Brooklyn. Up until now though, T.J. Dillashaw is keeping his media rants claiming that it was early stoppage and to add to that even Dana White immediately during the post fight press conference also see it as an early stoppage.
Understandably it was not Henry Cejudo's fault and any professional MMA referee would come up with the same action as Dillashaw was visibly wobbled and been dropped 3 times during that brief squabble. As Henry Cejudo puts it during his interview with MMA Junkie
“I did my job. I was going to hurt him regardless. He wasn’t going to make it past that minute, I promise you. I put my house on it. I put everything that I own it. He was not going to make it…because I saw him hurt."
Henry Cejudo then gave an advice to the tune of "Never leave it to the judges" by saying "never leave it up to the ref". And that's what happened, T.J. Dillashaw exposed himself to that condition when he got rocked during that opening round.
The two is said to face each other again, T.J. wants a rematch with the flyweight to prove it is only a "fluke". Cejudo though mentioned in one interview that he'd rather do it in Dillashaw's bantamweight to prove his point.
In one interview, T.J. said he will face Cejudo any day and although he prefer to have it in flyweight but don't really care if Cejudo wants it in another weight class. He is also keeping an eye with the winner on the match up today between Assuncao and Moraes as it may dictate him to have a mandatory defense for the said bantamweight belt.
Fluke or not, I want to see Cejudo vs Dillashaw happening anytime soon. The 32 second bout leaves too many blank spaces for a definitive conclusion so a rematch would be a delight for MMA fan like me. Plus,it is action packed, not boring at all, I would be excited to see the fight even just for the sake of seeing the piece of that action.
