Exclamation UFC 233: Cejudo vs. Dillashaw



Just when it looked like the UFC was scrapping their 125-pound Flyweight division . . .


UFC Bantamweight Champion T.J. Dillashaw [16-3 MMA, 12-3 UFC] will move down a weight class to face Flyweight Champion Henry Cejudo
[13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC] in a super-fight for the UFC Flyweight Championship on January 26th, 2019 at UFC 233 in Anaheim, California.


Dillashaw looks to become the third fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold championships in 2 different weight classes, following in the
footsteps of Conor McGregor [Featherweight & Lightweight] and Daniel Cormier [Light Heavyweight & Heavyweight].


This will be Cejudo's first defense of the Flyweight title after winning it via split decision by defeating longtime 125-pound champ and GOAT contender
Demetrious Johnson back in August.


Cejudo will enter the bout on a 3-fight win streak. Dillashaw will enter the bout on a 4-fight win streak.
