Cejudo’s coach: Later stoppage would’ve just been more damage to TJ Dillashaw

UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw refused to accept his 32-second stoppage loss to Henry Cejudo on Saturday night. His argument was that the fight was stopped too early, which UFC president Dana White is in agreement with.

Cejudo’s coach Eric Albarracin does concur on some level that the fight could have gone a little longer, but he expects the same result for them, and a worst one for their opponent.

“Obviously anything could’ve went a little bit longer, but I think the result might’ve been the same, would’ve been the same, probably just more damage on him,” Albarracin said during his studio appearance on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting).
