On Saturday night, in the main event of the UFC’s first show on ESPN+, UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw dropped down to the flyweight division to challenge Henry Cejudo in a bid to become a two-division champion. Unfortunately for Dillashaw, this mission didn’t go as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Less than a minute into the first round, Henry Cejudo was being peeled off the bantamweight champion for a TKO victory. TJ Dillashaw, however, assures he was not in any real danger \u2014 not even close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSucks to have it stolen from me,\u201d Dillashaw said at the post-fight press conference (transcript via MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cI worked my butt off. I\u2019m so much better than that. It would be nice to actually get the chance to show it. It\u2019s a title fight, it\u2019s a champ versus champ fight and you\u2019re gonna stop the fight like that? I\u2019m on a single leg. He says, \u2018Show me something.\u2019 I said, \u2018I\u2019m OK.\u2019 I\u2019m on a single leg in a scramble, he stops punching, he\u2019s defending a single leg and you\u2019re gonna stop the fight? It\u2019s just ridiculous, man. It\u2019s pretty pathetic that I have better knowledge than that ref.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
